Is any one of you incapable of reciting a third of the Qur'an in a night? They (the Companions) asked: How could one recite a third of the Qur'an (in a night)? Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: "'Say: He is Allah, One' (Qur'an. cxii) is equivalent to a third of the Qur'an."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ يَقْرَأْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ؟ قَالَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, 'Can any one of you not recite one-third of the Quran in one night?' The companions found this difficult and said, 'Who can bear that?' He said, 'Recite "Say, He is Allah, the One," and it is equivalent to one-third of the Quran.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَالَ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالُوا مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَهِيَ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Can any of you not recite one-third of the Quran in a single night? Verily, whoever recites Surah Al-Ikhlas (chapter 112) and Surah Al-Samad (chapter 112) in one night, he has recited one-third of the Quran that night."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ اللهُ الصَّمَدُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ قَرَأَ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ  

[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] "Do you not hear of the good that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ brought? They said, 'How much good did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bring?' He said, 'Whoever recites one-third of the Qur'an in a night?' So we felt timid and remained silent. He repeated it three times and said, 'Whoever recites "Say, He is Allah, [who is] One" (Surah Al-Ikhlas) is as if he recited one-third of the Qur'an.'"  

أَلَا تَسْمَعُونَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ؟ قَالُوا وَكَمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ قَدْ جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ يَقْرَأُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بِثُلُثِ الْقُرْآنِ؟» فَأَشْفَقْنَا مِنْهَا فَسَكَتْنَا فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْنَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ أَحَدٌ فَكَأَنَّمَا تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Does any of you find it difficult to recite one-third of the Quran?" They were taken aback by this and said, "Allah is the One, the Eternal, one-third of the Quran."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ» فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالَ «اللهُ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Is it difficult for any of you to recite one-third of the Quran every night?" We remained silent, so he repeated his question three times, saying, "I continue to ask and you remain silent." Then he said, "Whoever recites 'Say, He is Allah, the One' (Surah Al-Ikhlas) in one night, has indeed recited one-third of the Quran."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ؟» فَسَكَتْنَا فَأَعَادَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ لَنَا وَنَسْكُتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ {قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ} [الإخلاص 1] فَقَدْ قَرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ  

"أيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يقْرَأ ثُلُثَ القرآن في لَيْلَةٍ؟ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيهم فقال: يقْرَأ: {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} فهى تَعدِلُ ثُلُثَ القرآن".  

"أَيَعْجِزُ أحَدُكُمْ أنْ يَقْرأ ثُلُث القرآنِ في ليلةٍ؟ فإِنَّه مَنْ قرأَ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ (1) اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ} في ليلة فقد قرأ ليلته ثُلُثَ القُرآن ".
