عَن مُعاذِ بنِ جبلٍ رضى الله عنه قال:كنتُ رَدِيفَ النبيِّ ﷺ على حمارٍ، فقال: «يا معاذُ!، أتدري ما حقُّ اللهِ على العبادِ؟ وما حقُّ العبادِ على اللهِ؟» قلتُ: اللهُ ورسولُه أعلمُ. قال: «فإنَّ حقَّ الله على العبادِ أن يعبدوه ولا يُشركوا به شيئًا.وحقَّ العباد على الله أن لا يُعذِّب مَن لا يُشرك به شيئًا».قلتُ: يا رسول الله، أفلا أُبشِّر الناس؟ قال: «لا تُبَشِّرْهم فيتَّكلوا» متفق عليه.
Mu‘ādh ibn Jabal narrated:
1. I was behind the Prophet riding a donkey. 2. He said to me: “Mu‘ādh, do you know what people owe to God by right, and what right is due to them from God?” 3. I said: “God and His Messenger know best”. 4. He said: “The right people owe to God is that they must worship Him associating no partners with Him, 5. and the right due to people from God is that He shall not punish whoever does not associate partners with Him”. 6. I said: “Messenger of God, may I tell people so that they will rejoice”. He said: “Do not tell them, for then they will slacken”.
For a certainty, God does not forgive that partners are associated with Him. He forgives any lesser sin to whomever He wills. He who associates partners with God contrives an awesome sin indeed.
(4: 48)
Unbelievers indeed are those who say:
‘God is the Christ, son of Mary’. The Christ himself said: ‘Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord’. Whoever associates partners with God, God shall forbid him entrance into Paradise and his abode will be the Fire. Wrongdoers will have no helpers.
(5: 72)
Say:
My prayers, my worship, my living and my dying are for God alone, the Lord of all worlds. (162) He has no partner. Thus have I been commanded, and I shall be the first of those who surrender themselves to Him.
(6: 162-163)
