From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
مِنْ مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1018 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Is any of you
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ الْمِشْرَقِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ؟ » . قَالَ : فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَقَالُوا : مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : « يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ فَهِيَ تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur'an (in one night)?" This was hard on the Companions, and they said: "Who is able to do that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Let 'Say: He is Allah, the One' be recited; it is equal to a third of the Qur'an."
