Question:
The hadith reported from Abu Hurayrah states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding Surat[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]. What is the rest of this hadith?
Answer:
SuratSunan Ibn Majah 3787Sahih (Darussalam). This is what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih Muslim 812a, meaning in terms of the reward and recompense for the great meanings contained in this surah, because it describes the attributes of the Most Merciful (Glorified and Exalted is He). Therefore, it equals one-third of the Qur'an in reward, because the Qur'an consists of three sections: either news about Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), news about matters of the unseen, and news about previous nations that benefits people and admonishes them; or legislative rulings regarding acts of worship and transactions, and clarifying what is lawful and what is forbidden; or news about Allah (Mighty and Majestic) concerning His oneness, His names, and His attributes. Surat al-Ikhlas falls into this section of news about Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Therefore, it equals one-third of the Qur'an in this sense. Yes.
