[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, for they are the two radiant lights that will shade their companion on the Day of Resurrection, like two clouds, or two shades, or two flocks of birds in rows."  

الحاكم:٢٠٥٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ ثنا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ الْعَنَزِيُّ ثنا مُعَاذُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ الْقُرَشِيُّ ثنا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ يُظِلَّانِ صَاحِبَهُمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ»

ahmad:22975 – Wakīʿ > Bashīr b. Muhājir > ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), for its recitation brings blessings and neglecting it brings regret. It is beyond the capability of the cowardly."

"Learn also the Surah Al-Imran and the family of Imran, for they are the two radiant ones who will come on the Day of Judgment as if they were two clouds or two groups of birds arguing in defense of their companion."  

أحمد:٢٢٩٧٥ – حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ؛ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا هُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ يَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُجَادِلَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا  

ahmad:23050 – Wakīʿ > Bashīr b. al-Muhājir > ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah from his father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, for they are the two shining pearls that will come on the Day of Resurrection, as if they were two clouds, or two flocks of birds, or two groups of birds arguing with each other." And Waki' said once they will intercede for their companions.
