Sahih Muslim 813 (Book 6, Hadith 318) #9043
Reciting Attributes of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad sent a man in charge of an expedition and when they returned, the Prophet asked them why he had recited a certain phrase during their prayer. The man said it was an attribute of Allah and he loved to recite it. The Prophet then told them to inform him that Allah loves him.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah 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 . 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 thereupon said: Inform him that Allah loves him.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا الرِّجَالِ، مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَتْ فِي حَجْرِ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعَثَ رَجُلاً عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ لأَصْحَابِهِ فِي صَلاَتِهِمْ فَيَخْتِمُ بِـ ‏{‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ‏}‏ فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا ذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ سَلُوهُ لأَىِّ شَىْءٍ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ لأَنَّهَا صِفَةُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ بِهَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَخْبِرُوهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of reciting attributes or qualities of God during prayer. It is narrated by 'A'isha who was one of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad. In this hadith, we learn that when a man in charge went on an expedition with his companions, he would recite certain phrases from the Quran during their prayer which ended with "Say He is God One". When they returned and mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad, he asked them why they did so and upon hearing their answer that it was an attribute or quality from God which they loved to recite, he told them to inform him that God loves him too. This teaches us how important it is to remember our Lord's attributes as well as His love for us even if we are far away from Him physically or spiritually. We should also strive to show our love for Him through our words and actions every day so He can be pleased with us too!
