Aboo Hurayrah رضى الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Do not make your homes like graveyards, indeed shaytaan avoids the home in which Sooratul-Baqarah is read.” [1]
Ibn Mas’ood رضى الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Verily everything has a high point, and the highest point of the Qur’aan is Sooratul-Baqarah, and verily shaytaan, if he hears Sooratul-Baqarah recited, he leaves the house in which Sooratul-Baqarah is recited.” [2]
And the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Recite Sooratul-Baqarah in your homes, for indeed shaytaan does not enter a house in which Sooratul-Baqarah is recited in.” [3]
Aboo Mas’ood narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Whoever recites the two verses from the end of Sooratul-Baqarah in a night, they will suffice him.” [4]
‘Uqbah bin ‘Aamir narrated that the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Recite these two aayaat that are at the end of Sooratul-Baqarah, for indeed my Lord gave them to me from under the ‘Arsh.” [5]
And the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“(( Qul Huwal-llaahu Ahad )) and the Mu’awwidhatayn [Sooratul-Falaq and Sooratun-Naas] when you reach evening and when you reach the morning 3 times suffice you from everything.” [6]
