حَدَّثَنَاهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ؟ " قُلْتُ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: " أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا " قَالَ: " هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ "، قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: " دَعْهُمْ يَعْمَلُوا " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was riding behind the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) on a donkey. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called me by name and said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Allah's right over His servants is) that they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." Then the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Their right is that Allah will not punish them."
