وَعَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيَعْجَزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ يَقْرَأُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ: «قُلْ هُوَ الله أحد» يعدل ثلث الْقُرْآن ". رَوَاهُ مُسلم وَرَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ عَن أبي سعيد

Abu al-Darda reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Is any of you unable to recite a third of the Quran in one night?’ They said: ‘How can one recite a third of the Quran?’ He said: ‘Say, “He is Allah, One” is equivalent to a third of the Quran.’ Muslim transmitted it. Al-Bukhari also transmitted it from Abu Said.
