وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحَارِثِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:«« قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» تَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَجْمَعَهَا فِي اَلْوَتْرِ لِيَكُونَ اَلْقُرْآنَ كُلَّهُ»
And from him, from al-Nadr, from al-Halabi, from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “My father عليه السلام, peace be upon him, used to say: ‘Surah Al Ikhlas’ is equal to one-third of the Qur’an, and He عليه السلام used to love to combine it in the witr so that the entire Qur’an would be encompassed.”
