how do the six English translations render the first verse of Surah 112, what is the Arabic, and which hadith say what the surah is worth?
Answer

Six renderings of four Arabic words, قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ: Pickthall "Say: He is Allah, the One!", Yusuf Ali "Say: He is Allah, the One and Only", Shakir "Say: He, Allah, is One", Sale (1734) "Say, God is one God", Rodwell (1861) "SAY: He is God alone", Palmer (1880) "Say, He is God alone". The hadith on the surah's worth: Bukhari, Book 66 (Virtues of the Qur'an), narrated Abu Said al-Khudri, a man heard another recite it repeatedly and the Prophet said it is equal to one third of the Qur'an; Muslim, Book 6, Hadith 1889, Abu Huraira, the same measure. Ibn Majah, Book 5, has it recited with Al-Kafirun in the two rak'ah of Fajr, graded Sahih by Al-Albani; Tirmidhi, Book 9, in the two rak'ah of Tawaf; Nasai, Book 20, in the night prayer, and there the graders disagree: Daif isnad per Abu Ghuddah and Al-Albani, Hasan per Zubair Ali Zai.

Evidence
1.Koran, Sura 112 · six editions: Pickthall, Yusuf Ali, Shakir (Gutenberg 16955), Sale, Rodwell, Palmer · public domain · verse 1 in each, one record per sura per edition
2.Koran, Sura 112 · the Arabic text, with and without diacritics · Arabic Wikisource, CC BY-SA · قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
3.Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 66 · Virtues of the Qur'an · rights unresolved · "equal to one third of the Qur'an", narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri
4.Sahih Muslim, Book 6 · Hadith 1889 · rights unresolved · Abu Huraira: "I am going to recite before you one-third of the Qur'an"
5.Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 5 · rights unresolved · the two rak'ah of Fajr; grading Sahih (Al-Albani)
6.Sunan an-Nasai, Book 20 · rights unresolved · the night prayer; gradings Daif isnad (Abu Ghuddah, Al-Albani), Hasan (Zubair Ali Zai)
Conflict. The graders disagree on the Nasai narration: Daif isnad for two of them, Hasan for the third. Both verdicts are on the record and both are shown; the door does not pick one.
Gap. No tafsir is in the collection, so what the surah means is not a question it answers; what each translator wrote and what each collection narrates is. The rights in the hadith texts are unresolved and every such record says so.

Real, from the sealed Islam collection, asked through the same engine the door serves, on 12 October 2026. Six translators, the Arabic, five collections and a disagreement among the graders, on one answer with the number of every hadith.

The card, as the door says it

What is in the collection, and what is not.

Every door carries a card, sealed with the collection and shown to your assistant on every connection. This one reads:

The Koran in six English translations (Pickthall, Yusuf Ali and Shakir from Project Gutenberg eBook 16955; George Sale 1734, J. M. Rodwell 1861 and E. H. Palmer 1880) and in Arabic (the text of Arabic Wikisource, with and without diacritics), one record per sura per edition; and the ten hadith collections of the hadith-api project in English and Arabic (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah, Malik's Muwatta and the three Forty Hadith), one record per book with every hadith under its number. The rights in the hadith texts are not stated by their source and every such record says so. No tafsir is in this collection; it gives no religious ruling; cite the sura and the verse, or the collection, the book and the hadith number it returns.

Sealed 2026-09-21; 2,036 documents; nothing is added, changed or removed, and a question outside the collection is answered "not in this corpus".

Six translations and the Arabic.

Pickthall, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Sale, Rodwell and Palmer, one record per sura per edition, and the Arabic text with and without diacritics, as people type it.

Ten hadith collections.

Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Nasai, Ibn Majah, Malik's Muwatta and the three Forty Hadith, in English and Arabic, every hadith under its number with its gradings.

What the card promises.

The translator named on every verse, the collection and number on every hadith, the rights stated as unresolved where they are, and "not in this corpus" for everything else.

The collection, plugged into your assistant live door

One address, one sign-in, every answer cited to the passage.

The sealed collection above is served as an MCP server at https://islam.docenta.ai/mcp: a public collection we host on purpose so your assistant can ask it today. You add it once; from then on it asks the collection the way it asked the question above, and reads the verse back with its translator, or the hadith with its number.

Register once

Use the form at the bottom of this page and say "islam". You confirm your address with one click, and that registration is what opens the collection for you. There is no key to copy, ever: the address below is not a secret, and signing in is what makes it yours.

Allow it, once

Your assistant opens a docenta page by itself. It asks who you are (your address and six digits from your mail; nothing at all if you come from your start page) and shows one sentence: which assistant, which collection. Press Allow. You can disconnect any assistant later on your start page.

Ask, and read the citation

Every answer names the document and the page it came from. The first question after a quiet spell can take half a minute while the collection wakes up; your assistant is told so and asks again by itself.

The door never sees your files, and cannot be changed by anyone, us included, without a new seal and a new date on this page. It knows that a registered person asked, so each person gets a fair share of it. It keeps nothing you ask unless you choose to, with two boxes that start unticked when you connect: "tell me when a question can be answered later", which keeps only the questions the collection could not answer, and "keep my questions, without my name", which keeps the words for 180 days with no name, address or time of day beside them. You can change both on your start page.

What it will not pretend to know

Boundedness is the feature.

It gives no ruling and holds no tafsir. What a verse means is not a question this collection answers; what each translator wrote and what each collection narrates is.

Gradings disagree, and both are shown. A narration graded Daif by one scholar and Hasan by another is cited with both; the door does not pick.

Rights are stated as they are. The hadith texts' source states no rights; every such record says so, and the card says so.

The seal is the date. Nothing is added, changed or removed after the seal; a new seal means a new date on this page.
