(V.112:3) Narrated
Mu'âdh bin Jabal: The Prophet
said, "O Mu'âdh! Do you know what Allâh's Right upon His
slaves is?" I said, "Allâh and His Messenger know best." The
Prophet
said, "To worship Him (Allâh) Alone and to join none in worship with
Him (Allâh). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I
replied, "Allâh and His Messenger know best." The Prophet
said, "Not to punish them (if they do so)." [Sahih
Al-Bukharî, Vol. 9, Hadîth No. 470].
Narrated Abû Sa'id Al-Khudrî
: A
man heard another man reciting: 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the)
One." (112:1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning,
he went to the Prophet
and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that
Sûra by itself was not enough. Allah's Messenger
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the
Qur'ân. [Sahih Al-Bukharî, Vol. 9,
Hadîth No. 471].
Narrated 'Aisha RA: The Prophet
sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions
in the prayers and would finish his recitation with (the Sûrah
112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the) One." ' (112:1). When
they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet
.
He said (to them), "Ask him why he does so." They asked him and
he said, "I do so because it mentions the qualities of the Most Beneficent
and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet
said (to them), "Tell him that Allâh loves him." [Sahih
Al-Bukharî, Vol. 9, Hadîth No. 472].
