حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْمَشْرِقِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ " قَالَ: فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ (٢) ؟ قَالَ: " يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَهِيَ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ " (٣)، ،

English translation

Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "Are you unable to recite one third of the Qur'an in one night?" This seemed very difficult to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and they said, "Who would have the strength to do that?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Recite Surah Ikhlas, for it is equal to one third of the Qur'an."
