Sahih Muslim 812a (Book 6, Hadith 316) #9041
The Power of Surah Ikhlas

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recited one-third of the Qur'an and said that it was equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.

It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: Get together. for I am going to recite one-third of the Qur'an before you. And those who could get together gathered there. Then the Messenger of Allah came out and recited:" Say: He, Allah, is One". He then entered (his house). Some of us said to the others: Perhaps there has been some news from the heaven on account of which he has gone Inside (the house). The Apostle of Allah again came out and said: I told you that I was going to recite one-third of the Qur'in; keep in mind, this (Surah Ikhlas) is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ يَحْيَى، - قَالَ ابْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ احْشِدُوا فَإِنِّي سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَحَشَدَ مَنْ حَشَدَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ فَقَرَأَ ‏{‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ‏}‏ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ إِنِّي أُرَى هَذَا خَبَرٌ جَاءَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي أَدْخَلَهُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ سَأَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمْ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ أَلاَ إِنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of reciting Surah Ikhlas, which is a chapter in the Quran. It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said to gather together as he was going to recite one-third of the Quran before them. When he came out, he recited "Say He, Allah, is One". After this, some people thought that there must have been news from heaven for him to go back inside his house. However, when he came out again he said that what he had just recited was equivalent to one-third of the Quran. This hadith teaches us about how powerful and important it is to recite Surah Ikhlas as it has a great significance in Islam and can be seen as equal in importance with other chapters in the Quran.
