Hadith of the Day
Ibne-'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Surah Idha zulzilat (Zilzal:99) is equivalent to half of the Qur'an; Surah Qul huwal lahu ahad (ikhlas.112) is equivalent to one third of the the Qur'an; and Surah Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun (Kafirun:109) is equivalent to a quarter of the Qur'an. (Tirmidhi: 2894)
 
Note: The Qur'an describes the life of a man in this world and in the Hereafter and Surah Idha zulzilat describes the Hereafter in a very effective manner. Therefore, this Surah is equivalent to half of the Qur'an. Surah Qul huwalldhu ahad is equivalent, to one third of the Qur'an, as in the Qur'an there are three fundamental topics i.e. historical events, commandments, and the Unity of Allah. This Surah describes very beautifully the Oneness of Allah Subh'anahu wa Ta'ala. Surah Qul ya Ayyuhal Kafirun, is equivalent to one-fourth of the Qur'an, on the understanding that there are four subjects dealt with in the Qur'an; namely the Oneness, (of Allah), Prophethood, Commandments and historical events. And this Surah carries an excellent description of the Oneness of Allah Subh'anahu waTa'ala. According to some Islamic scholars, these three Surah are equivalent to half, one-third and one-fourth of the Qur'an respectively; meaning thereby that the reciter of these Surahs will get the reward of half, one-third, and one-fourth of the Qur'an respectively. (Mazahir-e- Haque)

Anas ibne-Malik Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said to one of his companions: Are you married, O! so and so? He said: No, By Allah, O Rasulallah, nor do I have anything to get married. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Have you not memorized Qul huwal lahu ahad? He replied: Indeed I have! Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: This is one-third of the Qur'an. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Have you not memorized Idha Ja a nasrullahi wal fath? (Nasr:110). He replied: Indeed I have! He said: It is one-fourth of the Qur'an. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Have you not memorized Qul ya ayyuhal kafirun? (Kafirun: 109). He replied: Indeed I have! Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: It is one-fourth of Qur'an. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Have you not memorized Idha zulzilatil ardu (Surah: 99)? He replied: Indeed I have! Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: It is one-fourth of the Qur'an. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: (So) Get Married! Get Married! (Tirmidhi: 2895)
 
Note: The objective of Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in saying this was to point out the value of these Surahs; when you have them memorized, then you are not a poor, but a wealthy man, and should get married. (Aridatul Ahwadi)

Hadith of the Day
'A'ishah Radiyallahu 'anha said Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sent a man in-charge of an expedition; and while leading the Salat with his companions, he would recite in the end Qul huwal lahu ahad (apart from any Surah that he had recited). When they returned, they mentioned this to Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Ask him why he did that? He replied: Because in it is a description of Ar-Rahman (the Compassionate), and I love to recite it. At this Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Tell him that Allah loves him too. (Bukhari: 7375)

Hadith of the Day
'Abdullah ibne-Khubaib Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam told me: Speak! I remained silent. He (again) said: Speak! I remained silent. He said again: Speak! I asked him: Rasulallah! What should I say? He said: Recite Surah Qul huwal lahu ahad (lkhlas: 112); Surah Qul A'udhu birabbil falaq (falaq:113); Surah Qul A'udhu birabbin nas (Nas: 114), three times in the morning and evening; these will suffice you for every purpose, or will protect you from every thing harmful. (Abu Dawud: 5082)
 
Note: According to some scholars, the objective of Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam prescribing the above is that if a person is unable to recite more, then he should at least recite these three Surahs in the morning and evening, and this alone will suffice for him Inshaallah. (Sharh-ut-Tibi)

'Uqbah ibne-'Amir Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I was travelling with Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam between Al-Juhfa and Al-Abwa, when suddenly a wind and intense darkness enveloped us. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam began to seek refuge by reciting: Qul A'udhu birabbil falaq (Falaq: 113), Qul A'udhu birabbin nas (Nas: 114). And He said: O 'Uqbah! Seek refuge of Allah by reciting these two. No one, seeking refuge ever, got such refuge like the one obtained through these two. 'Uqbah said: I heard Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam reciting these Surahs when leading us in Salat. (Abu Dawud: 1463)
