Chapter 2 · The Book of Faithحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، وَالْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، أَنَّهُمَا سَمِعَا الْأَسْوَدَ بْنَ هِلَالٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا مُعَاذُ، أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟» قَالَ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «أَنْ يُعْبَدَ اللهُ وَلَا يُشْرَكَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ»، قَالَ: «أَتَدْرِي مَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟» فَقَالَ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: «أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ».

The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Mu'adh رضی اللہ عنہ , do you know the right of Allah over His bondsmen? He (Mu'adh) said: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Messenger of Allah) said: That Allah alone should be worshipped and nothing should be associated with Him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What right have they (bondsmen) upon Him in case they do it? He (Mu'adh) said: Allah and His Apostle know best. He (the Holy Prophet) said: That He would not punish them.
