حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَيُعْجِبُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ { قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ } فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ قَرَأَ لَيْلَتَئِذٍ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ.
English Translation
It was narrated, through a chain reaching a woman of the Ansar, from Abu Ayyub, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said, "Would any of you find it hard to recite a third of the Qur'an in one night? For whoever recites 'Say: He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal Refuge' in a night has thereby recited a third of the Qur'an that night."
