Hadith text

Narrated Mu`adh:While I was a companion rider with the Prophet (ﷺ) he said, "O Mu`adh!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa`daik." He repeated this call three times and then said, "Do you know what Allah's Right on His slaves is?" I replied, "No." He said, Allah's Right on His slaves is that they should worship Him (Alone) and should not join partners in worship with Him." He said, "O Mu`adh!" I replied, "Labbaik wa Sa`daik." He said, "Do you know what the right of (Allah's) salves on Allah is, if they do that (worship Him Alone and join none in His worship)? It is that He will not punish them." (another chain through Mu'adh)

Mu'adh bataate hain: Jab main Nabi (SAW) ke peechhe sawaar tha, unhone kaha, 'Aye Mu'adh!' Maine jawab diya, 'Labbaik wa Sa'daik.' Unhone ye pukaar teen baar dohraayi aur phir kaha, 'Kya tumhein pata hai Allah ka apne bandon par kya haq hai?' Maine kaha, 'Nahi.' Unhone kaha, 'Allah ka apne bandon par haq ye hai ke wo sirf uski ibaadat karein aur uske saath kisi ko shareek na karein.' Unhone kaha, 'Aye Mu'adh!' Maine jawab diya, 'Labbaik wa Sa'daik.' Unhone kaha, 'Kya tumhein pata hai bandon ka Allah par kya haq hai, agar wo aisa karein (sirf uski ibaadat karein aur kisi ko shareek na karein)? Ye hai ke wo unhein saza nahi dega.' (Ek aur silsile se Mu'adh ke zariye.)
