English translation
[144] 49 - (...) It was narrated that Mu'âdh bin Jabal said: "I was riding behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on a donkey called 'Ufair, and he said: 'O Mu'âdh, do you know what is the right of Allâh over (His) slaves and the right of (His) slaves over Allâh?' I said: 'Allâh and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'The right of Allâh over (His) slaves is that they should worship Allâh and not associate anything with Him, and the right of (His) slaves over Allâh [the Mighty and Sublime,] is that He should not punish the one who does not associate anything with Him.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, should I not tell the people of this good news?' He said: 'Do not tell them, lest they (complacently) rely on it.'"
