Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a hadith meaning: If one recites "Say: He is Allah, the One" one thousand times, he has purchased the trust of Allah?

Answer:
The authentic hadith is
Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112) was equal to a third of the Qur'anأن قل هو الله أحد تعدل ثلث القرآن
Muwatta Malik 15:21
. This is the authentic hadith, because the Qur'an is divided into three sections. The first section is the section of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and creed.
The second section is the section of rulings, concerning what is halal (lawful) and haram (forbidden). The third section is the section of news. News from Allah about past nations, about future nations, and about what will happen in the end times and what will happen on the Day of Resurrection.
News mentioned by Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Ikhlas falls under the first type, tawhid. Surat al-Ikhlas is from the first section, which is tawhid, because Allah the Glorious and Exalted said in it:
(1) Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, (2) Allah, the Eternal Refuge. (3) He neither begets nor is born, (4) Nor is there to Him any equivalent."قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4]
. Therefore, it concerns the attributes of Allah and His oneness, so it is in the first section. For this reason, it is considered equal to one-third of the Qur'an. Yes.
