[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."  

الدارمي:٣٤٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

«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»
