[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Can any of you not recite one third of the Quran every day?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are weaker than that and unable to do so.' He said, 'Verily, Allah has divided the Quran into three parts, so say: He is Allah, [who is] One,' which is one part of His parts.'"  

أحمد:٢٧٥٢٢حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ أَبِي السُّمَيْطِ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الْغَطَفَانِيِّ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْيَعْمُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْيَقْرَأَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَحْنُ أَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَاكَ وَأَعْجَزُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَقُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَجْزَائِهِ
