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