[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] Abdullah said: "Whoever recites ten verses from Surah Al-Baqarah in a house, then Shaytan will not enter that house for the duration of the night until the morning comes. These ten verses should be from the beginning of the Surah, including Ayatul Kursi and the two verses that come after it, as well as the last verses of the Surah."

عَبْدُ اللهِ «مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي بَيْتٍ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتَ شَيْطَانٌ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ أَرْبَعَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا وَآيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَتَيْنِ بَعْدَهَا وَخَوَاتِيمُهَا»
