Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 811b
This narration gives another wording for the virtue of Surah al-Ikhlas. It states that Allah divided the Qur’an into three parts and made “Say: He, Allah is One” one part from those parts. The report supports the same core idea found in the previous narration: Surah al-Ikhlas has a special rank connected to one third of the Qur’an. The wording here is slightly different, so the explanation should follow it carefully. It does not give a new story or a new condition. It teaches the high value of this surah through a clear statement. For readers, the key search idea remains “Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad one third Quran.”

- It says Allah made the surah one part of the Qur’an’s three parts.
