Narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Gather together, I will recite to you one third of the Qur'an." So those who were to gather, gathered. After a short while, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out of the house and recited Surah Ikhlas, then went back into the house. We began saying to one another that perhaps revelation is being sent down upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that is why he has gone inside. But after a short while, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said, "I told you that I would recite to you one third of the Qur'an. Surah Ikhlas is equal to one third of the Qur'an."
