´It was narrated that Ubaid bin Hunain, the freed slave of the family of Zaib bin Al-Khattab, said:` "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'I came back (from a journey) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he heard a man reciting 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One, Allah-us-Samad (the Self-Sufficient Master). He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none equal or comparable unto Him.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'It is guaranteed.' We asked him: 'What, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Paradise.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
995. Commentary: Because this surah is pure monotheism (tawhid), and the reward for tawhid is Paradise—whether it is granted at the outset or after undergoing some punishment. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: «مَن كان آخِرُ كلامِهِ لا إلهَ إلّا اللهُ دخَل الجنَّةَ» “Whoever’s last words are la ilaha illallah will enter Paradise.” [سنن أبي داود، الجنائز، حدیث : 3116]
Every monotheist (muwahhid) will inevitably enter Paradise, whenever that may be, and then will remain there forever.
