«إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»

[Machine] He heard Sa'id bin al-Musayyib saying that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever recites Surah Al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad) ten times, a palace will be built for him in Jannah. And whoever recites it twenty times, two palaces will be built for him in Jannah. And whoever recites it thirty times, three palaces will be built for him in Jannah." Umar bin al-Khattab said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, then we will have plenty of palaces." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: "Allah is greater than that." Abu Muhammad (a narrator) said: "Abu Aqil Zuhrah bin Ma'bad claimed that he was one of the Abdal."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهَا قَصْرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ قَرَأهاَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهَا قَصْرَانِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهَا ثَلَاثَةُ قُصُورٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَنْ لَنَكْثُرَنَّ قُصُورُنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «أَبُو عَقِيلٍ زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَبْدَالِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Can any one of you not recite one-third of the Quran in a single night?" They said, "We are unable and weak to do that."

He said, "He said to us, 'Can any of you recite one-third of the Quran in one night?' " She said, "We were afraid that he would ask us to do something we were not capable of, so we did not ask him for anything until he repeated it three times. Then he said, 'Is it not true that one of you can recite 'Say, He is Allah, [who is] One' and 'Allah, the Eternal Refuge'?' "
