[Machine] So, I met Abu Mas'ud while he was performing Tawaf around the Ka'bah, and I said to him, "Tell me a hadith that you have heard from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ." He replied, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The two verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, whoever recites them in one night, they will be sufficient for him.' And the two verses are 'The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord.'"
