Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 106عمدة الأحكام 106

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها: «أن رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بعث رجلا على سرية فكان يقرأ لأصحابه في صلاتهم، فيختم ب «قل هو الله أحد» فلما رجعوا ذكروا ذلك لرسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال: سلوه لأي شيء صنع ذلك؟ فسألوه. فقال: لأنها صفة الرحمن عز وجل، فأنا أحب أن أقرأ بها. فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: أخبروه: أن الله تعالى يحبه».

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent a man in charge of an expedition and he would recite for his Companions during their prayer, ending (recitation) with:" Say, He is God, One." When they returned mention was made of it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (the Holy Prophet) told them to ask him why he had done like that. So they asked him and he said: Verily, it is an attribute of the Compassionate One, and (for this reason) I love to recite it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) thereupon said: Inform him that Allah loves him.
