Answer:
I do not know this hadith, but Surat al-Ikhlas is mentioned in the hadithSahih Muslim 812a regarding its virtue and good, because it describes Allah the Exalted. It is the third type of the types of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) contained in it, because tawhid has three types: tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship), tawhid al-uluhiyyah (oneness of worship), and tawhid al-asma' wa al-sifat (oneness of the names and attributes), and this surah is about the names and attributes, [Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4], yes.
