Hadith 812
وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جميعا ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " احْشُدُوا ، فَإِنِّي سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ، فَحَشَدَ مَنْ حَشَدَ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَرَأَ : قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ ، فَقَالَ : بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ ، إِنِّي أُرَى هَذَا خَبَرٌ جَاءَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَدْخَلَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ : " سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ، أَلَا إِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ " .
It is reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Get together. for I am going to recite one-third of the Qur'an before you. And those who could get together gathered there. Then the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) came out and recited:" Say: He, Allah, is One." He then entered (his house). Some of us said to the others: Perhaps there has been some news from the heaven on account of which he has gone Inside (the house). The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) again came out and said: I told you that I was going to recite one-third of the Qur'an; keep in mind, this (Surah Ikhlas) is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.
