Sunan ad-Darimi — Hadith #56242

Ubayd Allah ibn Musa narrated to us, on the authority of Israel, on the authority of Mansour, on the authority of Hilal, on the authority of Rabi’ ibn Khathim, on the authority of Amr ibn Maimun, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Laila, on the authority of a woman from the Ansar, on the authority of Abu Ayyub, he said: He came to her and said: Do you not see what the Messenger brought with him? God bless May God bless him and grant him peace. She said: A good Lord has been brought to us by the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. What is it? He said: He said to us: “Is any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur’an in one night?” He said: We were afraid that he would force us to do something that we were unable to do, so we did not return anything to him until He said it three times, then he said: “Can none of you recite (Say: He is God, the One, God, the Eternal)?”
