It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man used to lead a group of people in prayer, and in every rak'ah he would recite "Say: He is Allah, the One" (Surah al-Ikhlas) and another surah as well.
His companions said to him: "You recite this surah, and then perhaps you think it is not sufficient for you, which is why you add another surah to it? Either confine yourself to it alone, or recite the other surah and leave it."
He said: "I will not do that. If you are pleased (with my leading you), well and good; otherwise, do as you wish." He was the best of them, and they disliked that anyone else should lead them.
So they mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What prevents you from doing what your people ask of you, and why do you hold to this surah in every rak'ah?" He said: "I love it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your love for it has admitted you into Paradise."
No one narrated this hadith from Ubaydullah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him).
