Musa ibn Isma‘il related to us, saying: Hammam related to us, from Qatada, from Anas, from Mu‘adh, who said: I was riding behind the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said: “Mu‘adh!” I replied: “At your service and pleasure!” Then he said the same again three times: “Do you know what Allah’s right over His servants is?” I said: “No.” He said: “That they worship Him and associate nothing with Him.” Then he traveled for a while and said: “Mu‘adh!” I replied: “At your service and pleasure!” He said: “Do you know what the servants’ right over Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is if they do that?” That He not punish them.
