[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the Quran, for it will intercede for its companions on the Day of Resurrection. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Al-Imran, learn the duas Al-Zahrawayn, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades, or like two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for their companion. Learn Surah Al-Baqarah, for to take hold of it is a blessing, and to leave it is a regret, and the magicians cannot confront it with their magic."

Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqara and Surah Al 'Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu'awiya said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Learn the two chapters Al-Baqarah (The Cow) and Aal Imran (The Family of Imran), as they will come on the Day of Resurrection like two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds contending with one another to defend their companion. Learn Al-Baqarah, for to take recourse to it is a great blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it."

Recite the Qur'an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqara and Surah Al 'Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu'awiya said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.) (Using translation from Muslim 804a)

"تَعَلَّمُوا الزَّهْراوَيْن: البَقَرَةَ، وَآلَ عمْرَان؛ فَإِنَّمَا يَجِيئَان يَوَمَ القِيَامَةِ كأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ، أوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَان، أوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فرْقَانٌ مِن طَيْر صَوَافٌ تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا، تَعَلَّمُوا البَقَرَة؛ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ، وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُها البَطَلَةُ".

"اقْرَءُوا القرآنَ، فإِنَّه يأتِي يومَ القِيامَة شفيعًا لأصْحَابِهِ، اقْرَأُوا الزهراوَينِ البقرةَ وآل عِمْرَانَ؛ فإِنَّهُمَا يأتيان يومَ القيامَةِ كأنَّهُما غمامتان، أَوْ غَيَابتَانَ، أو كأنَّهُمَا فِرْقانِ مِن طيرٍ صْوَافَّ، تُحَاجَّان عن أَصحابِهما، اقرَءُوا سورةَ البقرة، فإِنَّ أخْذَهَا بَركةَ وتركهَا حَسْرَةٌ، ولا تستطيعُها البَطَلةُ) ".
