[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, which Surah of the Qur'an is the greatest?" He said, "Say: He is Allah, the One." He said, "Which verse in the Qur'an is the greatest?" He said, "The Throne Verse: Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence." [2:255] He said, "O Prophet of Allah, which verse do you love for it to afflict you and your nation?" He said, "The final verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, for indeed they are from the treasures of the mercy of Allah, and He has given them to this nation. There is no good in this world or the Hereafter that is not included in them."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ سُورَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ» قَالَ فَأَيُّ آيَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] قَالَ فَأَيُّ آيَةٍ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُصِيبَكَ وَأُمَّتَكَ؟ قَالَ «خَاتِمَةُ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خَزَائِنِ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ مِنْ تَحْتِ عَرْشِهِ أَعْطَاهَا هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ لَمْ تَتْرُكْ خَيْرًا مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] To him is the knowledge of the unseen, indeed I see you weak and feeble, just like the progeny of a dog. Are you amongst the jinn or are you one of them? He said, "No, I am one of them, but I am a special one. However, restore it to me if you overpower me, for I will teach you something beneficial." So he overpowered him and caused him to submit. He said, "Bring it, teach me." He said, "Yes." He said, "Do you recite 'Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence'?" He said, "Yes." He said, "If you recite it in a house, the devil will leave it, and there will be buzzing noise in it like the buzzing noise of a donkey. Then, the devil will not enter it until morning." Abu Muhammad Ad-Da'eel Ad-Daqiq said, "Ad-Daqiq is the small, Ad-Dahiq is the thin one, Ad-Dali' is one with good ribs, and Al-Khabaj is the wind."  

لَهُ الْإِنْسِيُّ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكَ ضَئِيلًا شَخِيتًا كَأَنَّ ذُرَيِّعَتَيْكَ ذُرَيِّعَتَا كَلْبٍ فَكَذَاكَ أَنْتُمْ مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ أَمْ أَنْتَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ كَذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي مِنْهُمْ لَضَلِيعٌ وَلَكِنْ عَاوِدْنِي الثَّانِيَةَ فَإِنْ صَرَعْتَنِي عَلَّمْتُكَ شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُكَ فَعَاوَدَهُ فَصَرَعَهُ قال هَاتِ عَلِّمْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَقْرَأُ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255]؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَقْرَؤُهَا فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ خَبَجٌ كَخَبَجِ الْحِمَارِ ثُمَّ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد الضَّئِيلُ الدَّقِيقُ وَالشَّخِيتُ الْمَهْزُولُ وَالضَّلِيعُ جَيِّدُ الْأَضْلَاعِ وَالْخَبَجُ الرِّيحُ  

[Machine] "Abdullah, whoever recites ten verses from Surah Al-Baqarah in one night, will not be approached by any Shaytan in that night until morning comes. The verse of the Throne (Ayat al-Kursi), followed by two other verses, and the last three of them are: "To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Whether you disclose what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent" [Al-Baqarah 284]."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتَ شَيْطَانٌ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ أَرْبَعًا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا وَآيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَتَينِ بَعْدَهَا وَثَلَاثٌ خَوَاتِيمُهَا أَوَّلُهَا {لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَّشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ} [البقرة 284]  

[Machine] "Whoever recites four verses from the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat Al-Kursi, two verses after Ayat Al-Kursi, and three verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, Satan will not approach him or his family that day, and nothing will harm him. And it will not be recited over a person who is insane except that he will be cured."  

«مَنْ قَرَأَ أَرْبَعَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَتَانِ بَعْدَ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَثَلَاثًا مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ لَمْ يَقْرَبْهُ وَلَا أَهْلَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَيْطَانٌ وَلَا شَيْءٌ يَكْرَهُهُ وَلَا يُقْرَأْنَ عَلَى مَجْنُونٍ إِلَّا أَفَاقَ»  

[Machine] "That no one will understand, he will not sleep until he reads these verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, and indeed they are a treasure beneath the Throne."  

أَنَّ أَحَدًا يَعْقِلُ يَنَامُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّهُنَّ لَمِنْ كَنْزٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ»  

[Machine] "Whoever recites ten verses from Al-Baqarah before sleeping, will not forget the Quran. These ten verses include the first four verses, Ayat al-Kursi, and the two verses after it, as well as three verses from the end. Ishaq said, 'He will not forget what he has memorized.'" Abu Muhammad added, "Among them is Al-Mugheerah bin Sumay'."  

مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرَةِ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ لَمْ يَنْسَ الْقُرْآنَ أَرْبَعُ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا وَآيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَتَانِ بَعْدَهَا وَثَلَاثٌ مِنْ آخِرِهَا قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ «لَمْ يَنْسَ مَا قَدْ حَفِظَه» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ سُمَيْعٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi and Surah Al-Hamd from Alif-Lam-Mim the Believer's Call until His saying, 'The Forgiver of sin, Acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination' [Ghafir 40:3], he will not see anything that he dislikes until the evening, and whoever recites it in the evening will not see anything that he dislikes until morning."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَفَاتِحَةَ حم الْمُؤْمِنِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ} [غافر 3] لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ  

that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah wrote in a book two thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth, and He sent down two Ayat from it to end Surat Al-Baqarah with. If they are recited for three nights in a home, no Shaitan shall come near it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2882)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَأَنْزَلَ مِنْهُ آيَتَيْنِ خَتَمَ بِهِمَا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَلَا تُقْرَآنِ فِي دَارٍ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَيَقْرَبُهَا شَيْطَانٌ»  

“Whoever recites the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at night, that will be sufficient for him.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1369)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَرَأَ الْآيَتَيْنِ الْآخِرَتَيْنِ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Greatest Name of Allah is contained in these two verses: 'Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence' (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) and 'Your god is one God' (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:163)."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] {وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ} [البقرة 163]  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Verily, Allah has sealed Surah Al-Baqarah with two verses which I have been given from His treasure beneath the Throne. Learn them and teach them to your wives, for indeed they are prayers, recitation of the Qur'an, and invocations.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَتَمَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ بِآيَتَيْنِ أُعْطِيتُهُمَا مِنْ كَنْزِهِ الَّذِي تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ فَتَعَلَّمُوهُنَّ وَعَلِّمُوهُنَّ نِسَاءَكُمْ فَإِنَّهُمَا صَلَاةٌ وَقُرْآنٌ وَدُعَاءٌ»
