23. Book of Virtues of the Quran
٢٣۔ كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ
[Machine] "Indeed, Allah has divided the Quran into three parts, and He made 'Say, He is Allah, the One' as one-third of the Quran."
«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] "He used to, when he recited a Surah, follow it with saying 'Say: He is Allah, the One.'"
«أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ سُورَةً فَخَتَمَهَا أَتْبَعَهَا بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ»
[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." So he said, "Verily, Allah has divided the Quran into three parts, and He made Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112) equal to one third of the Quran."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» قَالُوا نَحْنُ أَعْجَزُ وَأَضْعَفُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»
[Machine] Abu Huraira used to say, "Say, He is Allah, [who is] One, that is equivalent to one-third of the Quran."
أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»
"Qul Huwa Allahu ahad [Say: He is Allah, (the) One] is equivalent to one third of the Quran." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3787)
«قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِثْلَهُ
[Machine] "By Allah, I truly love this Surah. Say: He is Allah, the One." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your love for it will enter you into Paradise."
وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُبُّكَ إِيَّاهَا أَدْخَلَكَ الْجَنَّةَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the meaning of the phrase "Say: He is Allah, the One." He replied, "It is equivalent to one-third of the Quran, or it is equal to it in value."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ «ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ تَعْدِلُهُ»
[Machine] "Do you not see what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has brought?" She said, "Perhaps it is some good that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has brought to us, so what is it?" 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'?' "
أَلَا تَرَيْنَ إِلَى مَا جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ رُبَّ خَيْرٍ قَدْ أَتَانَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا «أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ؟» قَالَ فَأَشْفَقْنَا أَنْ يُزِيدَنَا عَلَى أَمْرٍ نَعْجِزُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ نَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ شَيْئًا حَتَّى قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ»
[Machine] The messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, "Whoever recites Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112 of the Quran) fifty times, Allah will forgive his sins of fifty years."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً»
