حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلاً يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ يُرَدِّدُهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Sasaca from his father that Abu Said al-Khudri heard a man reciting Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112), repeating it over and over again. In the morning he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and mentioned it to him, as if he thought little of it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bythe One in whose hand my self is, it is equal to one third of the Qur'an."

كذا رواه إسماعيل بن جعفر وهو صحيح ورواه جماعة من أصحاب مالك عن مالك يقصرون به

in موطأ مالك, p. 447 - Dāraquṭnī
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.
in موطأ مالك, p. 447 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
