Volume 4, Book 52, Number 108:
Narrated Mu’adh:
I was a companion rider of the Prophet on a donkey called ‘Ufair. The Prophet asked, “O Mu’adh!
Do you know what Allah’s right on His slaves is, and what the right of His slaves on Him is?” I
replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah’s right on His slaves is that they should
worship Him (Alone) and should not worship any besides Him. And slave’s right on Allah is that He
should not punish him who worships none besides Him.” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Should I not in –
form the people of this good news?” He said, “Do not inform them of it, lest they should depend on it
(absolutely).”
