The Commentary of Chapter 112 the Unity [al-Tawhid]

11. Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Marwani said: Abu Ahmad Muhammad ibn Sulayman said in Faris that Muhammad ibn Yahya said: Muhammad ibn `Abd Allah al-Rawasi said: Ja`far ibn Sulayman, on the authority of Yazid al-Rishk, on the authority of Matraf ibn `Abd Allah, on the authority of `Imran ibn Husayn that The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم sent a group for battle [sariyah], and instead `Ali عليه السلام as its head. When they returned, he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم enquired about the mission. Hence, they answered: “Everything went well, except that he عليه السلام recited (the chapter): Say: He, Allah is One, in every prayer he lead.” He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم therefore, asked: “O `Ali, why did you do that?” Consequently, he عليه السلام answered: “Out of love for the chapter: Say: He, Allah is One.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم then said: “You only loved it, because Allah, the Mighty and High, loved you.”
