Repeating Surat al-Ikhlas in Prayer

Question:
Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) turn away from the man who judges by his heart and weakness? Does this indicate the nature of this judge, that this was an indication of that in the divine conflict in the heavens, or…

Answer:
No one did it, as far as we know, other than this Companion. If it had been absolutely prescribed, someone else would have done it. This man did it out of love for this surah, and he did it only once. We do not know that this happened from him again, or from anyone else. Yes, but if he were praying for himself, if he were praying the night prayer for himself and used this surah in his prayer and repeated it, there is no harm in that.
