Sahih al-Bukhari 6500 (Book 81, Hadith 89) #6249
Worshiping Only Allah

SUMMARY: Allah's right on His slaves is that they should worship Him and not worship anything besides Him, and the right of Allah's slaves on Allah is that He should not punish them if they do so.

Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal: While I was riding behind the Prophet as a companion rider and there was nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle, he said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied, "Labaik O Allah's Messenger ! And Sa'daik!" He proceeded for a while and then said, "O Mu'adh!" I said, "Labaik and Sa'daik, O Allah's Messenger !" He then proceeded for another while and said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Messenger , and Sa'daik!" He said, "Do you know what is Allah's right on His slaves?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better". He said, "Allah's right on his slaves is that they should worship Him and not worship anything besides Him". He then proceeded for a while, and again said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I replied".Labaik, O Allah's Messenger , and Sa'daik". He said, "Do you know what is (Allah's) slaves' (people's) right on Allah if they did that?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better". He said, "The right of (Allah's) slaves on Allah is that He should not punish them (if they did that).
