حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي أَبَا دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيَّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " أَيَعْجَزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ؟ " فَقِيلَ: وَمَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: " اقْرَأْ: قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ " (٤)، ،

English translation

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