|H 427

“Mu'az was riding pillion behind the Prophet, praise and peace be
upon him, on a donkey when he asked: „Mu'az, do you know what
right is due to Allah from His worshipers, and what right is due to a
worshiper from Allah?‟ Mu'az replied: „Allah and His Messenger,
praise and peace be upon him, know best.‟ He said: „The right due
to Allah from His worshipers is that they worship Him and do not
associate anything with Him. The right of the worshipers of Allah
from Him is that He will not punish those who do not associate
anything with Him.‟ When Mu'az heard this he said: „O Messenger of
Allah, praise and peace be upon him, can I convey this good news
to the people?‟ He replied: „Do not do this, perhaps they may come
to depend upon it alone.‟”
