He said: "So whoever was to gather did so, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out and recited Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad. The he went back in. Some of them said to each other: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I shall recite to you one third of the Qur'ān' I thought that this was news from the Heavens. Allāh's Prophet ﷺ came out and said: "Indeed I said that I would recite to you one third of the Qur'ān, and it is indeed equal to one third of the Qur'ān." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Iḥshudū means: be together, gather the household people too. For the purpose of creating an interest amongst the people, the Prophet did not tell them straightway that he was going to read Sūrat Al-Ikhhlāṣ and it was equal to one third of the Qur'ān.
