Hadith 961:8
Waki' narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Sufyan, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: We came to Mu'adh ibn Jabal and said: "Narrate to us from the rare hadith of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace." He said: "Yes, I was riding behind him on a donkey." He said: "He said: 'O Mu'adh ibn Jabal.' I said: 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Do you know what is the right of Allah upon the servants?' I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'Indeed, the right of Allah upon the servants is that they worship Him and do not associate anything with Him.'" He said: "Then he said: 'O Mu'adh.' I said: 'At your service, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Do you know what is the right of the servants upon Allah if they do that?' He said: I said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'That He does not punish them.'"
حدثنا وكيع، عن الأعمش، عن أبي سفيان، عن أنس بن مالك، قال: أتينا معاذ بن جبل، فقلنا: حدثنا من غرائب حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم. قال: نعم، كنت ردفه على حمار قال: فقال: " يا معاذ بن جبل " قلت: لبيك يا رسول الله، قال: " هل تدري ما حق الله على العباد؟ " قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: " إن حق الله على العباد أن يعبدوه ولا يشركوا به شيئا " قال: ثم قال: " يا معاذ " قلت: لبيك يا رسول الله. قال: " هل تدري ما حق العباد على الله إذا هم فعلوا ذلك؟ " قال: قلت: الله ورسوله أعلم. قال: " أن لا يعذبهم "
