عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعَثَ رَجُلاً عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ لأَصْحَابِهِ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ فَيَخْتِمُ بِـ ( قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ) فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا ذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " سَلُوهُ لأَىِّ شَىْءٍ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ " . فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ لأَنَّهَا صِفَةُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ بِهَا . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَخْبِرُوهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّهُ.

ʿĀʾishah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed a man to lead a detachment. He would lead his companions in prayer, always ending with ‘Say: He is Allah, the One’ (Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ). When they returned, this was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, ‘Ask him why he does that.’ They asked him, and he replied, ‘Because it describes the Most Merciful, and I love to recite it.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Tell him that Allah loves him.’
