Chapter 13 The superiority of Qul-Huwa Allahu Ahad (Surat Al-Ikhlas) (No.112)
باب فَضْلِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Sahih al-Bukhari 5015

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur’an in
one night?” This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, “Who among us has the power to do
so, O Allah’s Messenger?” Allah Apostle replied: ” Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all
creatures need.’ (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1–to the End) is equal to one third of the Qur’an.”

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، وَالضَّحَّاكُ الْمَشْرِقِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏”‏ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ‏”‏‏.‏ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَالُوا أَيُّنَا يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ ‏”‏‏.
قَالَ الفربري: سمعت أبا جعفر محمد بن أبي حاتم وراق أبي عبد الله:‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُرْسَلٌ وَعَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْمَشْرِقِيِّ مُسْنَدٌ‏.‏
