996. It was narrated from Abû Sa'eed Al-Khudrî that a man heard another man reciting "Say: He is Allâh, (the) One"[2] and repeating it. When morning came he went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and told him about that. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, it is equal to one-third of the Qur'ân." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
995 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ يُرَدِّدُهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ»

It being equivalent to a third of the Qur'an is on account of its theme. Because the foundation of the Dîn rests on three elements: Oneness of Allâh, the Prophethood, and the Hereafter. On it (Surat Al-Ikhlas) is the most complete and comprehensive delineation of the Oneness of Allâh - Tawhîd.
