Worship Only One God Without Associations

This hadith is about the rights of Allah and His bondsmen. It is narrated on the authority of Mu'adh b. Jabal that he observed while riding behind the Messenger of Allah on an ass known as Ufayr, he asked Mu'adh what rights does Allah have over his bondsman and what rights do his bondsman have over him? To this, Mu'adh replied that only Allah and his Messenger know best. The Prophet then said that it is upon us to worship only God without associating anything with Him, and in return God will not punish us if we don't associate anything with Him. He then advised Mu'adh not to tell people this good news as they would trust in it alone. This hadith teaches us about our duties towards God which are to worship Him alone without associating any partners or idols with him, as well as our right from God which is that He will not punish us for worshipping only Him alone without any partners or idols associated with him. We should also remember that trusting in something too much can lead to a false sense of security so we should always strive for more knowledge instead of relying on one source completely for guidance or assurance.
