(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَاتَ قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ يَقْرَأُ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَتَعْدِلُ نِصْفَ الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ ثُلُثَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Qatadah bin Nu’man (may Allah be pleased with him) once spent the whole night reciting only Surah Ikhlas. When this was mentioned before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul! Surah Ikhlas is equal to half or one third of the Qur’an."
