[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'?' "  

الدارمي:٣٤٨٠حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالٍ عَنْ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ أَتَاهَا فَقَالَ
