regarding hadith of Ayat Kursi

[Alicia]

Salaam.

I read an hadith mentions the following, "Hadhrat Anas (RA) narrates that Rasulallaah (saw) asked one of his companions: “Oh, so and so are you married?” He replied: “No, I do not have enough wealth that I may marry.” Nabi (saw) said: “Do you know Surah Qul Huwallaahu Ahad?” The Sahaba replied: “I know”. Nabi (saw) said: “It is equal to a quarter of the Qur’aan. Nabi (saw) asked: “Do you not know Qul Yaa Ayyuhal Kaafiroon?” The Sababi replied “I know”. Nabi (saw) said “It is equal to a quarter of the Qur’aan.” Nabi (saw) asked, “Do you not know Surah “Iza Zul Zilzilaat ” ?” The Sahaabi replied, “I Know”. Nabi (saw) said: “It is a quarter of the Qur’aan”. Nabi (saw) asked: “Do you not know Surah Iza Jaa a Nasrullaahi Wal Fath” The Sahabi replied “I Know” Nabi (saw) said, it is a quarter of the Qur’aan. Nabi (saw) asked: “Do you know the Ayatul Kursi?” The Sahabi replied “I know”. Nabi (saw) said, “It is equal to a quarter of the Qur’aan. Marry, Marry, Marry.”

Re: regarding hadith of Ayat Kursi

I read a long time ago that in fact Surah ikhlas is worth one third of the Quran (not a quarter) and Albanee considered that hadith to be mutawatir. Allahu alim I'm not a scholar or qualified in these matters but that in itself would raise alarm bells for me.

Re: regarding hadith of Ayat Kursi

I did hear that surah ikhlas is worth a third as well. The way the sheikh explained it to me was that the Qu'ran is broken down in three parts. One part is rules and shariah, another part are stories, and the third part is Tawheed and Ikhlaas ofcourse falls under tawheed, hence 1/3. Allahu Alam.

Re: regarding hadith of Ayat Kursi

thx for replies, however I'd like to know the 'overall' status of hadith, instead of Surah Al Ikhlas only, especially the wording "Marry, Marry, Marry" after Rasulullah (SAW) mentioning Ayat Kursi.

Im not a scholar but this hadeeth has no daleel & it sounds kinda odd. Refer it to a Shaikh inshaaAllaah.
