Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqara and Surah Al 'Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu'awiya said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لأَصْحَابِهِ اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَسُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا تَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلاَ تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْبَطَلَةَ السَّحَرَةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, for they are the two shining pearls that will come on the Day of Resurrection, as if they were two clouds, or two flocks of birds, or two groups of birds arguing with each other." And Waki' said once they will intercede for their companions.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا هُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ يَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَاغَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ وَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً يُجَادِلَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Read the Qur'an, for it will intercede for its companions on the Day of Resurrection. Read the two bright ones, Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as if they are two clouds, or two shade-giving canopies, or like two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for their companions. Then he said, 'Read Al-Baqarah, for taking it up brings blessings and leaving it causes regret, and the magicians cannot confront it.'"  

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ شَافِعٌ لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَهْلِهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اقْرَءُوا الْبَقَرَةَ؛ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Quran, for it will intercede for you on the Day of Resurrection. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al 'Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two flocks of birds, arguing on behalf of their companions. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking it to be a source of blessing and abandoning it to be a cause of regret, and it is too burdensome for the idle."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ شَافِعٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ تَعَلَّمُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ؛ فَإِنَّ تَعْلِيمَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its companion on the Day of Resurrection. Read the Zahrawain (Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran), for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or like two flocks of birds that are arguing for their companions. Read Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking hold of it brings blessings and leaving it causes regret, and the cowards cannot face it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِصَاحِبِهِ اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَاحَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Read the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its people on the Day of Judgment. Read the Surahs Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for they will come on the Day of Judgment like two clouds or two shades or like two flocks of birds that will argue on behalf of their owners. And read Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking hold of it is a blessing and leaving it is a regret, and no one can take hold of it except the brave."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي شَافِعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا وَاقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, for they are the two radiant lights that will shade their companion on the Day of Resurrection, like two clouds, or two shades, or two flocks of birds in rows."  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ يُظِلَّانِ صَاحِبَهُمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Quran, for it will intercede for its people on the Day of Resurrection. And recite the two bright Surahs (Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran), for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or like two shades, or like two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for their companions. Learn Al-Baqarah, for learning it is a blessing and abandoning it is a regret, and the sorceresses cannot memorize it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ شَفِيعٌ لِأَهْلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ» قِيلَ وَمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ؟ قَالَ «الْبَقَرَةُ وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَفِرْقَيْنِ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ بِيضٍ صَوَافَّ يَدْفَعَانِ بَأَجْنِحَتِهِمَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ فَإِنَّ تَعَلُّمَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "Learn the Quran, for it will come as an intercessor for its companions on the Day of Judgment. And adhere to the two surahs of Al-Baqarah and Al-'Imran, for they will come on the Day of Judgment as if they are two clouds or two flocks of birds disputing for their companions. And hold on to Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking it brings blessings and leaving it causes regret, and it is too difficult for the idle."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَافِعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا تَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِسُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Quran, for it will intercede for its companions on the Day of Resurrection. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, learn the duas Al-Zahrawayn, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades, or like two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for their companion. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah, for to take hold of it is a blessing, and to leave it is a regret, and the magicians cannot confront it with their magic."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ شَافِعٌ لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ تَعَلَّمُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فَرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافٍّ تُجَادِلَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا وَتَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ فَإِنَّ تَعَلُّمَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَإِنَّ تَرْكَهَا لَحَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يُطِيقُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ» يَعْنِي بِالْبَطَلَةِ السَّحَرَةَ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, "Recite the Quran, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection interceding for its companions." Recite Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds. Their intercession will be accepted on behalf of its companions. Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for to take recourse to it is a blessing, and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُدَافِعُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَسُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافٍّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the two chapters Al-Baqarah (The Cow) and Aal Imran (The Family of Imran), as they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds contending with one another to defend their companion. Learn Al-Baqarah, for to take recourse to it is a great blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَعَلَّمُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافٍّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ فَإِنَّ أَخَذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ»
