6500. Narrated Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: While I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ as a companion rider and there was nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle, he ﷺ said, "O Mu'ādḥ!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allāh's Messenger, and Sa'daik!" He proceeded for a while and then said, "O Mu'ādḥ!" I said, "Labbaik O Allāh's Messenger, and Sa'daik!" He again proceeded for a while and said, "O Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allāh's Messenger, and Sa'daik!" He said, "Do you know what is Allāh's Right upon His slaves?" I replied, "Allāh and His Messenger know better." He said, "Allāh's Right on His slaves is that they should worship Him and not worship anything else besides Him.” He then proceeded for a while, and again said, “O Mu’ādh bin Jabal!” I replied, “Labbaik, O Allāh’s Messenger, and Sa’daik!” He said, “Do you know what is (Allāh’s) slaves’ right on Allāh if they did so?” I replied, “Allah and His Messenger know better.” He said, “The right of the slaves upon Allāh is that He should not punish them (if they did so).”
