from Abu Sa'eed, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Lord, Blessed and Most High is He, has said: 'Whoever is too busy with the Qur'an for remembering Me and asking Me, then I shall give him more than what I give to those who ask.' And the virtue of Allah's Speech over the speech of others is like the virtue of Allah over His creation. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2926)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَغَلَهُ قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ عَنْ مَسْأَلَتِي وَذِكْرِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ أَفْضَلَ ثَوَابِ السَّائِلِينَ وَفَضْلُ كَلَامِ اللَّهِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكَلَامِ كَفَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The superiority of the speech of Allah over the speech of His creation is like the superiority of Allah over His creation."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَضْلُ كَلَامِ اللَّهِ عَلَى كَلَامِ خَلْقِهِ كَفَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, who said, "The Quran is more beloved to Allah than the heavens and the earth, and all that is within them."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «الْقُرْآنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ»  

[Machine] The Prophet (pbuh) said, "Read the Quran as long as you are in agreement with it. But when you differ in understanding, then stand up (to resolve the difference)."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ فَقُومُوا»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long as you agree about its interpretation, but when you have any difference of opinion (as regards its interpretation and meaning) then you should stop reciting it (for the time being)' (Using translation from Bukhārī 5061)  

«اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ فَقُومُوا»  

Recite the Qur'an as long as your hearts agree to do so, and when you feel variance between them (between your hearts and tongues), then get up (and leave its recital for the time being). (Using translation from Muslim 2667a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا ائْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُلُوبُكُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ فَقُومُوا»  

[Machine] "Among the people are those who are given faith but not given the Qur'an, and among them are those who are given the Qur'an but not given faith, and among them are those who are given both the Qur'an and faith, and among them are those who are not given the Qur'an nor faith." Then He struck for them a parable and said, "As for the one who is given faith but not given the Qur'an, his example is like that of a date that is sweet in taste but has no fragrance, and as for the example of the one who is given the Qur'an but not given faith, his example is like that of a bitter aloeswood, it has a pleasant fragrance but a bitter taste, and as for the one who is given both the Qur'an and faith, his example is like that of a perfumed musk, it has a pleasant fragrance and a sweet taste, and as for the one who is not given the Qur'an nor faith, his example is like that of a bitter gourd, it has a bitter taste and no fragrance."  

«مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ وَلَا يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا يُؤْتَى الْإِيمَانَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُؤْتَى الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا الْإِيمَانَ» ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا قَالَ «فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ الْإِيمَانَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَمَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ حُلْوَةُ الطَّعْمِ لَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَأَمَّا مَثَلُ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُ الْآسَةِ طَيِّبَةُ الرِّيحِ مُرَّةُ الطَّعْمِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَيِّبَةُ الرِّيحِ حُلْوَةُ الطَّعْمِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي لَمْ يُؤْتَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَا الْإِيمَانَ فَمَثَلُهُ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ مُرَّةُ الطَّعْمِ لَا رِيحَ لَهَا»  

The Prophet said: "The likeness of the believer who recites the Qur'an is that of a citron, the taste and smell of which are good. The likeness of a believer who does not read the Qur'an is that of a date, the taste of which is good but it has no smell. The likeness of a hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is that of a sweet basil, the smell of which is good but its taste is bitter. And the likeness of a hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is that of a colocynth (bitter apple), the taste of which is bitter and it has no smell.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 214)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَرِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا حُلْوٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهَا رِيحٌ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الْمُنَافِقِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ لَيْسَ لَهَا رِيحٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ»  

[Machine] "The parable of the one who has been granted faith but has not been granted the Quran is like the date palm; its taste is sweet and it has no aroma. And the parable of the one who has been granted the Quran but has not been granted faith is like the basil plant; its aroma is pleasant but its taste is bitter. And the parable of the one who has been granted both the Quran and faith is like a citron; its aroma is pleasant and its taste is pleasant. And the parable of the one who has not been granted faith or the Quran is like the bitter gourd; its aroma is foul and its taste is foul."  

«مَثَلُ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْإِيمَانَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ التَّمْرَةِ طَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَلَا رِيحَ لَهَا وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ الْإِيمَانَ مَثَلُ الرَّيْحَانَةِ الْآسَةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا مُرٌّ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي أُوتِيَ الْقُرْآنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مَثَلُ الْأُتْرُجَّةِ رِيحُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَطَعْمُهَا طَيِّبٌ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْتَ الْإِيمَانَ وَلَا الْقُرْآنَ مَثَلُ الْحَنْظَلَةِ رِيحُهَا خَبِيثٌ وَطَعْمُهَا خَبِيثٌ»  

Whom have you appointed as your deputy over the people of the valley? He said: I have appointed Ibn Abza over them, ‘Umar said: Who is Ibn Abza? Nafiʼ said: One of our freed slaves. ‘Umar said: Have you appointed a freed slave over them? Nafi’ said: He has great knowledge of the Book of Allah, is well versed in the rules of inheritance (al­-fara'id) and is a (good) qadi (judge). 'Umar said. Indeed your Prophet ﷺ said, “Allah raises some people (in status) by means of this Book and brings others low by means of it.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 232)   

لَهُ عُمَرُ مَنِ اسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَادِي؟ فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ اسْتَخْلَفْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ ابْنَ أَبْزَى فَقَالَ عُمَرُ وَمَنْ ابْنُ أَبْزَى؟ فَقَالَ مَوْلًى مِنْ مَوَالِينَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَاسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَوْلًى؟ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ قَارِئٌ لِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَالِمٌ بِالْفَرَائِضِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَمَا إن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُ بِهَذَا الْكِتَابِ أَقْوَامًا وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِينَ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the one who recites the Quran will have a reward, and indeed, the one who listens to it will have double the reward."  

«إِنَّ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ وَإِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَمِعُ لَهُ أَجْرَانِ»  

[Machine] "Whoever listens to a verse from the Book of Allah, it will be a light for him."  

«مَنِ اسْتَمَعَ إِلَى آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا»  

One who is skilled in the Qur'an is associated with the noble, upright recording angels, and he who falters when he recites the Qur'an and finds it difficult for him will have a double reward. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1454)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهُوَ مَاهِرٌ بِهِ فَهُوَ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَالَّذِي يَقْرَؤُهُ وَهُوَ يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ»  

[Machine] "Whoever Allah has given the Quran to and recites it during the day and night and acts upon its teachings, and dies while obediently following it, Allah will raise him on the Day of Judgment in the company of the angels and the prophets." Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The company refers to the angels and the prophets, and the judgments refer to the righteous laws and commandments." He also said, "Whoever is eager to recite the Quran and exerts effort in doing so, even if it is difficult for him, he will be rewarded twice. And whoever is eager to recite it and exerts effort in doing so and dies while obediently following it, he is from their noble ranks and will be preferred over the rest of the people, just as eagles are preferred over other birds, and as a green meadow is preferred over the surrounding areas. And when it is the Day of Judgment, it will be said, 'Where are those who used to recite My book and were not distracted by following their desires?' So they will be granted eternal life and bliss. If their parents died while obediently following the Quran, crowns of royalty will be placed upon their heads, and they will say, 'Our Lord, our deeds have not reached this level!' He will respond, 'Indeed, your son used to recite My book.'"  

«مَنْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ فَقَامَ بِهِ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَآنَاءَ النَّهَارِ وَعَمِلَ بِمَا فِيهِ وَمَاتَ عَلَى الطَّاعَةِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ وَالْأَحْكَامِ» قَالَ سَعِيدٌ السَّفَرَةُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالْأَحْكَامُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ قَالَ وَمَنْ كَانَ حَرِيصًا وَهُوَ يَتَفَلَّتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَدَعُهُ أُوتِيَ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ حَرِيصًا وَهُوَ يَتَفَلَّتُ مِنْهُ وَمَاتَ عَلَى الطَّاعَةِ فَهُوَ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ وَفُضِّلُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ كَمَا فُضِّلَتِ النُّسُورُ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّيْورِ وَكَمَا فُضِّلَتْ مَرْجَةٌ خَضْرَاءُ عَلَى مَا حَوْلَهَا مِنَ الْبِقَاعِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ قِيلَ أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَتْلُونَ كِتَابِي لَمْ يُلْهِهِمْ اتِّبَاعُ الْأَنْعَامِ؟ فَيُعْطَى الْخُلْدَ وَالنَّعِيمَ فَإِنْ كَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مَاتَا عَلَى الطَّاعَةِ جُعِلَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمَا تَاجُ الْمُلْكِ فَيَقُولَانِ رَبَّنَا مَا بَلَغَتْ هَذَا أَعْمَالُنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى إِنَّ ابْنَكُمَا كَانَ يَتْلُو كِتَابِي  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "In the opening of the book (Quran) there is a cure for every disease."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فِي فَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me and said, "Did Allah, the Almighty, not say: 'O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered'?" (Quran 8:24) He said, "Shall I not teach you the greatest Surah in the Quran before I leave the mosque?" When he intended to leave, he said, "All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. It is the Seven Oft-Repeated (Al-Fatiha) and the Magnificent Quran which I have been given."  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُ ﷻ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ} [الأنفال 24] قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ أَعْظَمَ سُورَةٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ؟» فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَهِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Opening of the Book (Al-Fatiha) is the seven oft-repeated verses."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي»  

[Machine] "The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Nothing was revealed in the Torah, the Gospel, the Psalms, or the Quran like its equivalent, meaning the Mother of the Quran (i.e., the opening chapter of the Quran, Al-Fatiha), and indeed it is equivalent to seven of the repeated verses (of the Quran) and the great Quran that I have been granted.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا أُنْزِلَتْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَلَا فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ وَالزَّبُورِ وَالْقُرْآنِ مِثْلُهَا يَعْنِي أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ وَإِنَّهَا لَسَبْعٌ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُعْطِيتُ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Al-Hamdulillah is Umm Al-Qur'an and Umm Al-Kitab and the seven oft-repeated." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3124)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أُمُّ الْقُرْآنِ وَأُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَالسَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي»  

[Machine] "Any house where Surah Al-Baqarah is recited, Satan would leave it."  

«مَا مِنْ بَيْتٍ تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ ضَرِيطٌ»  

[Machine] "The recitation of Surah Al-Baqarah brings blessings, abandoning it causes regret, and it cannot be mastered by those lacking strength; it is the backbone of the Quran."  

«سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ تَعَلُّمُهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكُهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ وَهِيَ فُسْطَاطُ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] He said, "Indeed, everything has a core and the core of the Qur'an is Surah Al-Baqarah. And indeed, everything has a kernel, and the kernel of the Qur'an is Al-Mufassal." Abu Muhammad Al-Lubab Al-Khalis said.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَنَامًا وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لُبَابًا وَإِنَّ لُبَابَ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُفَصَّلُ» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد اللُّبَابُ الْخَالِصُ  

[Machine] "Whoever recites Surah Al-Baqarah will be crowned with a crown in Paradise."  

«مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ تُوِّجَ بِهَا تَاجًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] He heard the recitation of Surah Al Baqarah being recited in a house from which he had exited.  

سَمِعَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ تُقْرَأُ فِي بَيْتٍ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ»  

[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»  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet (pbuh) and I heard him say, "Learn Surah Al-Baqarah, for its recitation is a blessing, and its abandonment is a source of remorse. It is not easily overcome by falsehood." Then he remained silent for a while, and then said, "Learn Surahs Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for they are the two radiant ones and they will shade their companion on the Day of Resurrection, like two clouds, or two gardens, or two flocks of birds spreading their wings. Indeed, the Quran will come to its companion on the Day of Resurrection, when the grave opens up for him, in the form of a pale man, and will say to him, 'Do you recognize me?' He will reply, 'I do not recognize you.' It will then say, 'I am your companion, the Quran, who made you thirsty in the heat and kept you awake at night. Every trader will have behind his merchandise, and today you will have behind every transaction.' The person will then be presented with the kingdom in his right hand, and immortality in his left hand. A crown of honor will be placed on his head, and his parents will be clothed in two garments that the world will not equal. They will say, 'Why have we been dressed in this?' It will be said to them, 'Because of your child's recitation of the Quran.' Then it will be said to him, 'Recite and ascend through the ranks of Paradise and its chambers.' So he will continue to ascend as long as he recites, whether in a measured tone or melodiously."  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ» ثُمَّ سَكَتَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ وَإِنَّهُمَا تُظِلَّانِ صَاحِبَهُمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ وَإِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ يَلْقَى صَاحِبَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حِينَ يَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْقَبْرُ كَالرَّجُلِ الشَّاحِبِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُنِي؟ فَيَقُولُ مَا أَعْرِفُكَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا صَاحِبُكَ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي أَظْمَأْتُكَ فِي الْهَوَاجِرِ وَأَسْهَرْتُ لَيْلَكَ وَإِنَّ كُلَّ تَاجِرٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ تِجَارَتِهِ وَإِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ كُلِّ تِجَارَةٍ فَيُعْطَى الْمُلْكَ بِيَمِينِهِ وَالْخُلْدَ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْوَقَارِ وَيُكْسَى وَالِدَاهُ حُلَّتَيْنِ لَا يُقَوَّمُ لَهُمَا الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولَانِ بِمَ كُسِينَا هَذَا؟ فيُقَالُ لَهُمَا بِأَخْذِ وَلَدِكُمَا الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ اقْرَأْ وَاصْعَدْ فِي دَرَجِ الْجَنَّةِ وَغُرَفِهَا فَهُوَ فِي صُعُودٍ مَا دَامَ يَقْرَأُ هَذًّا كَانَ أَوْ تَرْتِيلًا  

[Machine] He heard Abu Umamah saying, "I saw in a dream that people were walking in a long, steep mountain fissure, and on top of the mountain were two green trees that were calling out, 'Is there anyone among you who can recite Surah Al-Baqarah? Is there anyone among you who can recite Surah Al-Imran?' When a man said yes, the two trees came close to him until they reached his neck, and they passed through the mountain." Abu Muhammad said, "The 'neck' refers to the branches of the trees."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَخًا لَكُمْ أُرِيَ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَسْلُكُونَ فِي صَدْعِ جَبَلٍ وَعْرٍ طَوِيلٍ وَعَلَى رَأْسِ الْجَبَلِ شَجَرَتَانِ خَضْرَاوَانِ تَهْتِفَانِ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ؟ هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ؟ فَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ دَنَتَا بِأَعْذَاقِهِمَا حَتَّى يَتَعَلَّقَ بِهِمَا فَتَخْطِرَانِ بِهِ الْجَبَلَ قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد الْأَعْذَاقُ الْأَغْصَانُ  

[Machine] A man read at the house of Abdullah Al-Baqara and Al-Imran, then he said, "I have read two surahs in which is the greatest name of Allah. When invoked with it, he answers, and when asked with it, he gives."  

قرأ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ فَقَالَ «قَرَأْتَ سُورَتَيْنِ فِيهِمَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى»  

[Machine] Whoever recites Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, they will come on the Day of Judgment, saying, "Our Lord, there is no way against Him."  

مَنْ قَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ جَاءَتَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَقُولَانِ رَبَّنَا لَا سَبِيلَ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] Abu Muhammad is a decorative ink.  

أَبُو مُحَمَّد مُحَبِّرَةٌ مُزَيِّنَةٌ  

[Machine] "Whoever recites the last verses of Surah Al-Imran in one night, will be rewarded as if he had prayed the whole night."  

«مَنْ قَرَأَ آخِرَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كُتِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ»  

[Machine] "Whoever recites Surah Al-'Imran on the day of Friday, the angels send blessings upon him until the night."  

«مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ»  

[Machine] "Abdullah performs Surah Al-Imran, a treasure of conduct, in the late night."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «نِعْمَ كَنْزُ الصُّعْلُوكِ سُورَةُ آلِ عِمْرَانَ يَقُومُ بِهَا فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ»  

[Machine] "So he took refuge in a valley called Maganna, a valley where no one walks except that they are afflicted by insanity. And on the edge of the valley, there were two monks. When it became evening, one of them said to his companion, 'By Allah, that man is doomed.' He then began reciting Surah Al-Imran. They both recited a beneficial Surah in the hope that he might be saved. He then said, 'So he woke up safe and sound.' Abu Muhammad said, 'Abu As-Salil is Durayb ibn Nuqayr,' and it is also said that he is Ibn Nuqayr.'"  

فَأَوَى إِلَى وَادِي مَجَنَّةٍ وَادٍ لَا يَمْشِِي فِيهِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَصَابَتْهُ جِنَّةٌ وَعَلَى شَفِيرِ الْوَادِي رَاهِبَانِ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ هَلَكَ وَاللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ فَافْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ قَالَا فَقَرَأَ سُورَةً طَيِّبَةً لَعَلَّهُ سَيَنْجُو قَالَ «فَأَصْبَحَ سَلِيمًا» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «أَبُو السَّلِيلِ ضُرَيْبُ بْنُ نُقَيْرٍ» ويقال ابن نقير  

[Machine] "Abdullah, 'the seven long ones are like the Torah, and the hundred and ten are like the Gospel, and the seventy are like the Psalms, and the rest of the Quran is a bonus."  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «السَّبْعُ الطُّوَلُ مِثْلُ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْمِئِينَ مِثْلُ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْمَثَانِي مِثْلُ الزَّبُورِ وَسَائِرُ الْقُرْآنِ بَعْدُ فَضْلٌ»  

[Machine] "The livestock are among the obligations of the Quran."  

«الْأَنْعَامُ مِنْ نَوَاجِبِ الْقُرْآنِ»  

[Machine] "The Opening of the Quran is Al-'An'am, and its completion is Hud."  

«فَاتِحَةُ التَّوْرَاةِ الْأَنْعَامُ وَخَاتِمَتُهَا هُودٌ»  

[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Recite Surah Hud on Fridays.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ هُودٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Read Surah Hud on the day of Friday."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ هُودٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ»  

[Machine] "Whoever reads ten verses from Surah Al-Kahf will not fear the Dajjal."  

«مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْكَهْفِ لَمْ يَخَفِ الدَّجَّالَ»
