Hadith 32093
٣٢٠٩٣ - [حدثنا حفص عن عاصم عن ابن سيرين قال: لا تقل سورة قصيرة ولا سورة خفيفة، قال: فكيف أقول؟ قال: قل: سورة كبيرة فإن اللَّه ﵎ قال: ﴿وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مُدَّكِرٍ﴾ [القمر: ١٧]، ولا تقل: خفيفة، فإن اللَّه قال: ﴿إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا﴾] (١) [المدثر: ٥].
Hazrat Asim narrates that Hazrat Ibn Sirin said: Do not say: "a small surah," nor say: "a light surah." The narrator says: I asked, "Then how should I say?" He replied: Say like this! "An easy surah." Because Allah has said: "And indeed, We have made this Qur'an easy for remembrance, so is there anyone who will take heed?" And do not say: "a light surah," because Allah has said: "We are about to send down to you a weighty word."
