عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «أَيَعْجِزُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ القُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ؟» فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَقَالُوا: أَيُّنَا يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ: «اللهُ الوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ ثُلُثُ القُرْآنِ».
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudrī narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his companions:
1. Will any of you be unable to recite one-third of the Qur’an during a night?
2. They felt the task very hard and said: Who of us can manage that, Messenger of God? .3. He said: God, the One, the Eternal, the Absolute is one-third of the Qur’an.
Any revelation We annul or consign to oblivion We replace with a better or similar one.
(2: 106)
Say: He is God, the One and only God (1) the Eternal, the Absolute. (2) He begets none, nor is He begotten, (3) and there is nothing that could be compared to Him.
(112: 1-4)
