Hadith 8954

عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاذُ أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُبَشِّرُ النَّاسَ قَالَ دَعْهُمْ يَعْمَلُوا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Mu'adh! Do you know what right Allah has over His servants? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The right is that people worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what right the servants have over Allah when they fulfill this? I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The right is that He does not punish them. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I not give this glad tidings to the people? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Leave it, so that they may continue to act.
