‘A’isha reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent a man on an expedition and he used to recite for his companions in the prayer, ending with “Say: He is Allah, One.” When they returned, they mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah and he said, “Ask him why he did it.” They asked him and he said, “Because it is the description of the All-Merciful. So I love to recite it.” The Messenger of Allah said, “Tell him that Allah Almighty loves him.” [Agreed upon]
