عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " احْشِدُوا فَإِنِّي سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ " . فَحَشَدَ مَنْ حَشَدَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَرَأَ ( قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ) ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ إِنِّي أُرَى هَذَا خَبَرٌ جَاءَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَدْخَلَهُ . ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ أَلاَ إِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ.
Abū Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Gather, for I will recite one-third of the Qur’an to you.’ Those who could gathered. Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ came out and recited ‘Say: He is Allah, the One’ (Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ), then went inside. Some of us said to one another, ‘It seems that news has come to him from heaven; that is what made him go inside.’ Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ came out and said: ‘I told you that I would recite one-third of the Qur’an to you. Indeed, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’an.’
