Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَمِعَ رَجُلاً، يَقْرَأُ (‏قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ‏)‏ يُرَدِّدُهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ‏".‏‏.

Translation

Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī reported that a man heard another man repeatedly reciting ‘Say: He is Allah, the One’ (Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ). The next morning, he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about it, as though he considered the recitation too little. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘By the One in whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur’an.’
