2856. Narrated Mu'ādḥ: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: I was a companion-rider behind the Prophet ﷺ on a donkey called 'Ufair. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Mu'ādḥ! Do you know what Allāh's Right on His slaves is, and what the right of His slaves on Him is?" I replied, "Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ know better." He said, "Allāh's Right on His slaves is that they should worship Him (Alone) and should not worship anything else besides Him. And slaves' right on Allāh is that He should not punish him who worships none besides Him." I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Should I not inform the people of this good news?" He said, "Do not inform them of it, lest they should depend on it (solely)."

2856 - حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، سَمِعَ يَحْيَى بْنَ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ رِدْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عُفَيْرٌ، فَقَالَ: «يَا مُعَاذُ، هَلْ تَدْرِي حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ، وَمَا حَقُّ العِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ؟»، قُلْتُ: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ عَلَى العِبَادِ أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا، وَحَقَّ العِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ يُعَذِّبَ مَنْ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا»، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ أُبَشِّرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ؟ قَالَ: «لاَ تُبَشِّرْهُمْ، فَيَتَّكِلُوا»
