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.

The last sentence of this blessed hadith is extremely worthy of reflection, that is, the meaning of deeds with greater reward and merit is not that a person should abandon further actions. See, the primary addressees of such ahadith were the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum), but even due to these ahadith, they never considered abandoning any deed permissible. Also, reflect upon the next hadith.
The relevance of this blessed hadith to our practical life is that we should worship Allah Ta’ala and not associate anyone with Him.
