[Machine] "Indeed, this Quran is the banquet of Allah, so take from it what you are able. For I do not know anything more beneficial than a house that does not have any part of the Book of Allah in it, and indeed, the heart that does not have any part of the Book of Allah in it is ruined, just like the ruin of a house without an inhabitant."  

الدارمي:٣٣٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

«إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَأْدُبَةُ اللَّهِ فَخُذُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنِّي لَا أَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا أَصْفَرَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ بَيْتٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ وَإِنَّ الْقَلْبَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ خَرِبٌ كَخَرَابِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا سَاكِنَ لَهُ»

[Machine] "If one learns anything from it, then they should act upon it, for the smallest of houses that contain something from the Book of Allah is better than a house that does not contain anything from it, and a house that does not contain anything from the Book of Allah is like a ruined house that has no inhabitant. Indeed, Satan leaves a house when he hears the recitation of Surah Al-Baqarah in it."  

الطبراني:٨٦٤٢حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ «§هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ مَأْدُبَةُ اللهِ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ

أَنْ يَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا فَلْيَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ أَصْغَرَ الْبُيُوتِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْءٌ وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْءٌ كَخَرَابِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا عَامِرَ لَهُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ يَسْمَعُ فِيهِ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ»
