أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَهْضَمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ
قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ السُّورَةُ يُرَدِّدُهَا لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَامَ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا كَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَلَّلُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنَ»

✧ A man stood at night and recited “Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad,” repeating the sūrah and not adding anything to it. When morning came, a man said, “O Messenger of God, a man stood tonight in the pre-dawn hours reciting ‘Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad’ and not adding anything to it, as if the man considered it insignificant.” The Messenger of God ﷺ said, “By the One in whose hand is my soul, it is equal to one-third of the Qur’ān.”
