وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانٌ الْعَطَّارُ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ ‏.‏ وَفِي حَدِيثِهِمَا مِنْ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَزَّأَ الْقُرْآنَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ فَجَعَلَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ جُزْءًا مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ الْقُرْآنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Qatada Narrated from:

This hadith has been narrated by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters in these words: He (the Messenger of Allah) said: Allah divided the Qur'an into three parts, and he made:" Say: He, Allah is One." one part out of the (three) parts of the Qur'an.

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.”

What we learn from this hadith

  • This narration presents the virtue of Surah al-Ikhlas with different wording.
  • It says Allah made the surah one part of the Qur’an’s three parts.
  • The focus remains on the special rank of “Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad.”
  • The report does not add extra conditions beyond the stated wording.
