[Machine] "Every thing has a peak and the peak of the Quran is Surah Al-Baqarah, and every thing has a core and the core of the Quran is the detailed explanation. Indeed, the devils flee from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited. And even the smallest houses have an inside that does not contain anything from the Book of Allah."  

الطبراني:٨٦٤٤حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا عَارِمٌ أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ قَالَ

«لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَنَامٌ وَسَنَامُ الْقُرْآنِ الْبَقَرَةُ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لُبَابًا وَلُبَابُ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُفَصَّلُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لِتَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَإِنَّ أَصْغَرَ الْبُيُوتِ لَلْجَوْفُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ كِتَابُ اللهِ شَيْءٌ»
