The Excellence of the Holy Quran

7ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) يَقُولُ قُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ ثُلُثُ الْقُرْآنِ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ رُبُعُ الْقُرْآنِ.
7. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “My father عليه السلام would say, ‘Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran is one third and Chapter 109 is one forth of the Holy Quran.’”
