حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ يُرَدِّدُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ .

A man heard another man reciting Say, He is Allah, One He was repeating it. When the next morning came, he went to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned to him. The man tool it (this surah) as a small one. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, it is equivalent to a third of the Quran.
