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 "..
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.’
