Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humayd ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf had told him that Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112) was
equal to a third of the Quran, and that Surat al-Mulk (Sura 67)
pleaded for its owner.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ubaydullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman
that Ubayd ibn Hunayn, the mawla of the family of Zayd ibn al Khattab,
said that he had heard Abu Hurayra say, "I was going along with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he
heard a man reciting Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112). The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'It is
obligatory,' and I asked him, 'What is, Messenger of Allah?' and he
said, 'The Garden.' I wanted to tell the man the good news but I was
afraid that I would miss the midday meal with the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and I preferred to eat with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. When
I went to the man afterwards I found that he had gone."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu
Bakr, from Abu Salih as-Samman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever says
'There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. The Kingdom
and praise belong to Him and He has power over everything' (La ilaha
illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu'l mulku wa lahu'l hamd, wa
huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir) one hundred times a day, it is the same
for him as freeing ten slaves. One hundred good actions are written
for him and one hundred wrong actions are erased from him, and it is a
protection from Shaytan for that day until the night. No-one does
anything more excellent than what he does except someone who does more
than that."
