He (the Messenger of Allah) said: Allah divided the Qur'an into three parts, and he made:" Say: He, Allah is One." one part out of the (three) parts of the Qur'an.  

مسلم:٨١١bوَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانٌ الْعَطَّارُ جَمِيعًا

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمَا مِنْ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ جُزْءًا مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ الْقُرْآنِ
