The shortest verse in the Quran

The shortest verse in the Quran upon which there is no controversy that it is a verse could be the Saying of Allaah (which means): {Dark green [in color].}[Quran 55:64], {مدهامتان}. However, there is a difference of opinion on some other verses like the Saying of Allaah (which means): {By time}{والعصر}[Quran 103:1], {The Most Merciful} {الرحمن}[Quran 55:1], and some other beginnings of chapters like {Alif, Lam, Meem} {ألم}, and {Ha, Meem} {حم}. Some scholars considered each of these words as a separate verse, whereas some others did not consider them as such.

Allaah Knows best.
