[Machine] " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'None of you should place one foot over the other, recline and recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for indeed Satan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited. Indeed, the interior of the houses becomes yellow, exactly as the external appearance of fire, from the Book of Allah ﷻ.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٧٣٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا أَلْفَيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَضَعُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى يَتَغَنَّى وَيَدَعُ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ يَقْرَؤُهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفُرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْبَقَرَةُ وَإِنَّ أَصْفَرَ الْبُيُوتِ الْجَوْفُ الصِّفْرُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ»

[Machine] "Do not let anyone of you place one foot over the other, indulging in singing and claiming to recite Surah Al-Baqarah. Indeed, Shaytan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited, just as a yellowish hue disappears from the inner parts of a house when exposed to the Book of Allah."  

الدارمي:٣٥٣٧ – حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْهَجَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

«لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَضَعُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى يَتَغَنَّى وَيَدَعُ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَفِرُّ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّ أَصْفَرَ الْبُيُوتِ الْجَوْفُ يَصْفَرُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ»
