Mishkat al-Masabih #2059
The Excellent Qualities of the Qur'an
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَن ابْن عَبَّاس وَأنس بن مَالك رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: (إِذا زلزلت)
تعدل نصف الْقُرْآن (قل هُوَ الله أحد)
تعدل ثلث الْقُرْآن و (قل يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ)
تَعْدِلُ رُبْعَ الْقُرْآنِ ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
Ibn ‘Abbās and Anas b. Mālik reported God’s messenger as saying that “When is shaken” (Qur’ān, 99) is equivalent to half the Qur’ān, “Say, He is God, One” (Qur’ān, 112) is equivalent to a third of the Qur’ān, and “Say, O infidels” (Qur’ān, 109) is equivalent to a quarter of the Qur’ān.
Tirmidhī transmitted it.
