English narration
Narrated by أبو سعيد الخدري
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 (ﷺ)?" 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 الْأَعْمَشُ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، وَالضَّحَّاكُ الْمَشْرِقِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : "
أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَقَالُوا : أَيُّنَا يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ
