[Machine] Abu Ayyub was in a gathering, saying, "Can't any of you recite one-third of the Quran?" Then the Prophet ﷺ came to them and heard Abu Ayyub. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Abu Ayyub has spoken the truth."  

الحاكم:٥٩٣٧أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ ثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ حُيَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَسَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ»

[Machine] Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari was in a gathering, and he was saying, "Can any of you not recite one-third of the Quran every night?" They said, "Is that even possible?" He said, "Certainly, 'Say, He is Allah, One' is one-third of the Quran." So the Prophet ﷺ came while he was listening to Abu Ayyub and said, "Abu Ayyub spoke the truth."
