Hadith text

Narrated Mu`adh bin Jabal:While I was riding behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and between me and him and between me and him there was only the back of the saddle, he said, "0 Mu`adh!" I replied, "Labbaik, 0 Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and Sa`daik!" he said, "Do you know what is Allah's right upon his slave?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best" He said "Allah's right upon his slaves is that they should worship Him alone and not worship anything else besides Him." Then he proceeded for a while and then said, "O Mu`adh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):, Sa`daik!' He said, "Do you know what is the right of the slaves upon Allah if they do that?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He said, "The right of the slaves upon Allah is that He will not punish them (if they do that)

Mu'adh bin Jabal bataate hain: Jab main Nabi (SAW) ke peechhe sawaar tha aur mere aur unke beech sirf zeen ki peeth thi, unhone kaha, 'Aye Mu'adh!' Maine jawab diya, 'Labbaik, Aye Allah ke Rasool, aur Sa'daik!' Unhone kaha, 'Kya tumhein pata hai Allah ka apne bande par kya haq hai?' Maine kaha, 'Allah aur uska Rasool behtar jaante hain.' Unhone kaha, 'Allah ka apne bandon par haq ye hai ke wo sirf uski ibaadat karein aur uske siwa kisi aur ki ibaadat na karein.' Phir wo thodi der chalte rahe aur kaha, 'Aye Mu'adh bin Jabal!' Maine jawab diya, 'Labbaik, Aye Allah ke Rasool, Sa'daik!' Unhone kaha, 'Kya tumhein pata hai agar bande aisa karein to Allah par unka kya haq hai?' Maine jawab diya, 'Allah aur uska Rasool behtar jaante hain.' Unhone kaha, 'Bandon ka Allah par haq ye hai ke wo unhein saza nahi dega (agar wo aisa karein).'
