Musnad Ahmad 11392

Translation

✧ A man said, 'O Messenger of God, I have a neighbor who prays at night but only recites "Say: He is God, the One," as if he considers it little.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, it indeed equals a third of the Quran.'

  يرويه مالك بن أنس عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي صعصعة واختلف عنه فرواه القعنبي ومعن وأبو مصعب وأصحاب الموطأ عن مالك عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن أبي صعصعة عن أبيه عن أبي سعيد وخالفهم إسماعيل بن جعفر وأبو صفوان الأموي عبد الله بن سعيد بن عبد الملك بن مروان وعباد بن صهيب فرووه عن مالك عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله عن أبيه عن أبي سعيد عن أخيه قتادة بن النعمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم واختلفوا على مالك في اسم ابن أبي صعصعة والقول قول أبي معمر القطيعي عن إسماعيل بن جعفر وهو الصواب

  machine translationMālik b. Anas narrates it from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Ṣaʿṣaʿah, and there is disagreement about it from him. Al-Qaʿnabī, Maʿn, Abū Muṣʿab and the other transmitters of the Muwaṭṭaʾ narrated it from Mālik, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Ṣaʿṣaʿah, from his father, from Abū Saʿīd. Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, Abū Ṣafwān al-Umawī ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān, and ʿAbbād b. Ṣuhayb differed from them, and narrated it from Mālik, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿAbdullāh, from his father, from Abū Saʿīd, from his brother Qatādah b. al-Nuʿmān, from the Prophet ﷺ. They also differed regarding Mālik about the name of Ibn Abī Ṣaʿṣaʿah; the correct statement is that of Abū Maʿmar al-Quṭaʿī from Ismāʿīl b. Jaʿfar, and it is the right one. Report a problem
