حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ: بَاتَ قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ يَقْرَأُ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ: بِـ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَعْدِلُ نِصْفَ الْقُرْآنِ - أَوْ ثُلُثَهُ - " (١)،
