28. Abu `Ali al-Husayn ibn `Ali ibn Muhammad ibn `Ali ibn `Amr al-`Attar said in Balkh, that Muhammad ibn Mahud said: Humran on the authority of Malik ibn Ibrahim ibn Tihman on the authority of [Abu] Hasin on the authority of al-Aswad ibn Hilal on the authority of Mu`adh ibn Jabl who said:

I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said to me, “O Mu`adh! Do you know what is the right of Allah, the Mighty and High, upon His Servants?”, repeating it three times. I answered,” Allah and His Messenger know best.” The Messenger of Allah said: “The right of Allah, the Mighty and High, upon His Servants is that they should not associate anything with Him.” After that he asked, “Do you know what the right of the servants is upon Allah, the Mighty and High, when they respect His Right?” I answered, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He ﷺ said: “That He should not chastise them.” Or he ﷺ said: “That He should not place them in Hell.”
