حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَمِعَ رَجُلاً

يَقْرَأُ «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ» يُرَدِّدُهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»

A man heard another man reciting (Surat-Al-Ikhlas) ‘Say He is Allah, (the) One.’ (112. 1) repeatedly. The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and informed him about it as if he thought that it was not enough to recite. On that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur’an!”

আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, এক ব্যক্তি আরেক ব্যক্তিকে ‘কুল হুআল্লাহু আহাদ’ পড়তে শুনলেন। সে বার বার তা মুখে উচ্চারণ করছিল। পরদিন সকালে তিনি রাসূলুল্লাহ্ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে এসে এ ব্যাপারে বললেন। যেন ঐ ব্যক্তি তাকে কম মনে করলেন। তখন রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, সেই সত্তার কসম, যাঁর হাতে আমার জীবন। এ সূরাহ হচ্ছে সমগ্র কুরআনের এক-তৃতীয়াংশের সমান। [৬৬৪৩, ৭৩৭৪]

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف تنیسی نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو امام مالک نے خبر دی، انہیں عبدالرحمٰن بن عبداللہ بن عبدالرحمٰن بن ابی صعصعہ نے، انہیں ان کے والد عبداللہ نے اور انہیں ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ ایک صحابی ( خود ابو سعید خدری ) نے ایک دوسرے صحابی ( قتادہ بن نعمان رضی اللہ عنہ ) اپنے ماں جائے بھائی کو دیکھا کہ وہ رات کو سورۃ «قل هو الله أحد‏» باربار پڑھ رہے ہیں۔

صبح ہوئی تو وہ صحابی ( ابوسعید رضی اللہ عنہ ) رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں حاضر ہوئے اور نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے اس کا ذکر کیا گویا انہوں نے سمجھا کہ اس میں کوئی بڑا ثواب نہ ہو گا۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اس ذات کی قسم جس کے ہاتھ میں میری جان ہے! یہ سورت قرآن مجید کے ایک تہائی حصہ کے برابر ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Yusuf] Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Abdurrahman bin Abdullah bin Abdurrahman bin Abu Sha'shah] dari [bapaknya] dari [Abu Sa'id Al Khudri] bahwa seorang laki-laki mendengar seseorang yang membaca surat: "QUL HUWALLAHU AHAD." dan orang itu selalu mengulang-ngulangnya. Di pagi harinya, maka laki-laki itu pun segera menemui Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan mengadukan mengenai seseorang yang ia dengar semalam membaca surat yang sepertinya ia menganggap sangat sedikit.

Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pun bersabda: "Demi Dzat yang jiwaku berada di tangan-Nya, sesungguhnya surat itu benar-benar menyamai sepertiga Al Qur`an." [Abu Ma'mar] menambahkan dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Ja'far] dari [Malik] dari [Abdurrahman bin Abdullah bin Abdurrahman bin Sha'sha'ah] dari [bapaknya] dari [Abu S'aid Al Khudri] Telah mengabarkan kepadaku adikku [Qatadah bin An Nu'man] bahwasanya; Ada seorang laki-laki yang berdiri menunaikan shalat di waiktu sahur, dan ia membaca surat, "QUL HUWALLAHU AHAD.."

lalu ia tidaklah menambahkan sesuatu pun pada surat itu." Maka ketika pagi, maka seseorang mendatangi Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Yakni dengan hadists semisalnya

Ebu Said el-Hudrl'den rivayet edildiğine göre; Adam'ın biri, başka birinin İhlas suresini tekrarlayıp durduğunu işitmiş. Sabah olunca, Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'e gelip biraz da adamın yaptığını hafife alarak bu durumu haber vermiş. Bunun üzerine Allah Resülü Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuş: "Canım elinde bulunan Allah'a yemin ederim ki, bu sure Kur'an'ın üçte birine denktir." Hadisin geçtiği diğer yerler:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5013, Book 66, Virtues of the Qur'an, Hadith 35. 1 min read

What it means

Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that a man heard another reciting the Surah: {Say, “He is Allah, the One”} repeatedly throughout the night, without adding anything else. The next morning, he came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned that to him, as if the questioner thought it was not enough.

Thereupon, he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swore by way of confirmation: By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equal to one-third of the Qur’an.

What it teaches

  • The merit of Surat al-Ikhlās and that it is equal to one-third of the Qur’an.
  • It is permissible to recite a small number of verses during the night prayer and repeat them, without belittling this.
  • Al-Māziri said: It was said: It means: The Qur’an consists of three categories: stories, rulings, and the attributes of Allah Almighty. {Say, “He is Allah, the One.”} is exclusively about Allah's attributes, making it one-third—a part of three parts. It was also said: It means: The reward of reciting it is multiplied to equal the reward of reciting one-third of the Qur’an without any additional multiplication.
