حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا مُصْعَبٌ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ. عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَؤُمُّ قَوْمًا، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ: قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ وَسُورَةً أُخْرَى فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ: إِنَّكَ تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ - يَعْنُونَ: قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ لَا تُرَاهَا تُجْزِئُكَ، وَتَقْرَأُ مَعَهَا سُورَةً أُخْرَى ؟ فَإِمَّا اقْتَصَرْتَ عَلَيْهَا، وَإِمَّا قَرَأْتَ السُّورَةَ الْأُخْرَى وَتَرَكْتَهَا. فَقَالَ: لَسْتُ أَفْعَلُ، فَإِنْ رَضِيتُمْ، وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنُكُمْ بِأَمْرِكُمْ. وَكَانَ مِنْ أَفْضَلِهِمْ، وَكَرِهُوا أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُمْ غَيْرُهُ، فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِمَّا يَأْمُرُكَ بِهِ قَوْمُكَ، وَمَا يُلْزِمُكَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُحِبُّهَا. فَقَالَ: " حُبُّهَا أَدْخَلَكَ الْجَنَّةَ

✧ A man used to lead his people in prayer and would recite in every rakʿah: "Qul huwa Allahu aḥad" along with another sūrah. His companions said to him: 'You recite this sūrah—meaning "Qul huwa Allahu aḥad"—and then do not consider it sufficient, but you recite another sūrah with it. Either confine yourself to it, or recite the other sūrah and leave it.' He said: 'I will not do that. If you are pleased, then so be it; otherwise, your affair is up to you.' He was one of the best among them, and they disliked that anyone other than him lead them. They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: 'What prevents you from doing what your people instruct you to do, and what compels you to this sūrah?' He said: 'I love it.' He said: 'Your love of it will admit you to Paradise.'
