(V.112:3)

A) Narrated Mu'âdh bin Jabal [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: The Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said, "O Mu'âdh! Do you know what Allâh's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allâh and His Messenger know better." The Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] 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 better." The Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said, "Not to punish them (if they did so)." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 9/7373 (O.P.470)]

B) Narrated Abu Sa'îd Al-Khudrî [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhu]: 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 [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sûrah by itself was not enough. Allâh's Messenger [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equal to one-third of the Qur'ân." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 9/7374 (O.P.471)]

C) Narrated 'Aishah [radhi-yAllâhu 'anhaa]: The Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] 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 Gracious and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam] said (to them). "Tell him that Allâh loves him."
