Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is there a report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said, “Whoever recites Surat al-Ikhlas a thousand times, it suffices him”?
Answer:
This is not the case; Surat al-Ikhlas has a special virtue. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 812a meaning in terms of reward and recompense, because it encompasses the description of the Most Merciful, [Al-Ikhlas 112:1-3], and it is entirely about tawhid (the oneness of Allah), [Al-Ikhlas 112:4]. The Qur'an is divided into three categories: either reports about the past and the future, or commands and prohibitions, or promises and warnings. These are the categories of the Qur'an, and al-Ikhlas is with the first category, the category of tawhid. Yes.

Answer:
This is not the case; Surat al-Ikhlas has a special virtue. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
this (Surah Ikhlas) is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.
إنها تعدل ثلث القرآنHe is Allah, [who is] One, (2) Allah, the Eternal Refuge. (3) He neither begets nor is born,
اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْNor is there to Him any equivalent."
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
