Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانٌ الْعَطَّارُ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ . وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمَا مِنْ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ جُزْءًا مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ الْقُرْآنِ ".
Translation
Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah narrated to us; ʿAffān narrated to us; and Abān al-ʿAṭṭār narrated to us—all from Qatādah with this same chain. In both of their narrations, the Prophet’s words are: ‘Allah divided the Qur’an into three parts and made “Say: He is Allah, the One” one of the parts of the Qur’an.’
