عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ “ لاَ تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ ”
Abū Hurayrah reported Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:” Do not make your houses into graves. Shaytān flees from a house in which Sūrah al-Baqarah is recited.” (Sahīh Muslim 780)
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ “ لاَ تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ الْبَقَرَةُ لاَ يَدْخُلُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ
Abū Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Do not make your houses into graves. Indeed Shaytān does not enter the house in which Sūrah al-Baqarah is recited.” (At-Tirmidhī 2877. Declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī)
عن عبدِ اللَّهِ ابنِ مسعودٍ ، قالَ : إنَّ الشَّيطانَ يفرُّ منَ البيتِ الَّذي يُسمَعُ فيهِ سورَةُ البقَرةِ
‘Abdullāh Ibn Mas’ūd said : “Verily Shaytān flees from the house in which Sūrah al-Baqarah is heard.” (Declared Sahīh by Ahmad Shākir in Umdatul-Tafsīr 1/72)
إنَّ لِكُلِّ شيءٍ سَنامًا ، وإنَّ سَنام القرآنِ البقرةُ ، من قرأَها في بيتِهِ ليلةً لم يَدخلهُ الشَّيطانُ ثلاثَ ليالٍ ، ومَن قرأَها في بيتِهِ نَهارًا لم يَدخلهُ الشَّيطانُ ثلاثةَ أيَّامٍ
The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said, “Verily, everything has a summit and the summit of the Qur’ān is Sūrah al-Baqarah. Whoever recites it in his house at night, Shytān will not enter his house for three nights. Whoever recites it during the day, Shaytān will not enter his house for three days.” (Declared Sahīh by Ahmad Shākir in Umdatul-Tafsīr 1/72)
كنتُ جالِسًا عندَ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم فسمِعْتُهُ يقولُ تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ، وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَة قال ثمَّ سَكَتَ ساعَةً ثمَّ قال تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ، يُظِلَّانِ صَاحِبَهُمَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ، وَإِنَّ الْقُرآنَ يَلْقى صَاحِبَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حِينَ يَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ قَبْرُهُ كَالرَّجُلِ الشَّاحِبِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُنِي؟ فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَعْرِفُكَ. فَيَقُولُ: أَنَا صَاحِبُكَ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي أَظْمَأْتُكَ فِي الْهَوَاجِرِ وَأَسْهَرْتُ لَيْلَكَ وَإِنَّ كُلَّ تَاجِرٍ مِنْ وَرَاءِ تِجَارَتِهِ، وَإِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ كُلِّ تِجَارَةٍ فَيُعْطَى الْمُلْكَ بِيَمِينِهِ وَالْخُلْدَ بِشِمَالِهِ وَيُوضَعُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْوَقَارِ، وَيُكْسَى وَالِدَاهُ حُلَّتَانِ لَا يَقُومُ لَهُمَا أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا، فَيَقُولَانِ: بِمَا كُسِينَا هَذَا؟ فَيُقَالُ: بِأَخْذِ وَلَدِكُمَا الْقُرْآنَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: اقْرَأْ وَاصْعَدْ فِي دَرَجِ الْجَنَّةِ وَغُرَفِهَا، فَهُوَ فِي صُعُودٍ مَا دَامَ يَقْرأُ هَذًّا كَانَ أَوْ تَرْتِيلًا
Buraydah narrated, ‘I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and I heard him say,
“Learn Sūrah al-Baqarah, because in learning it there is blessing, in ignoring it there is sorrow, and the magicians are not able with it.”
He kept silent for a while and then said,
“Learn Sūrah al-Baqarah and al-‘Imrān because they are two lights and they shade their people on the Day of Resurrection, just as two clouds, or two shades or two flocks of birds. The Qur’ān will meet its companion in the shape of a pale-faced man on the Day of Resurrection when his grave is opened. The Qur’ān will ask him, ‘Do you know me’ The man will say, ‘I do not know you.’ The Qur’ān will say, ‘I am your companion, the Qur’ān, which has brought you thirst during the heat and made you stay up during the night. Every merchant has his certain trade. But, this Day, you are behind all types of trade.’ Kingship will then be given to him in his right hand, eternal life in his left hand and the crown of grace will be placed on his head. His parents will also be granted two garments that the people of this life could never afford. They will say, ‘Why were we granted these garments’ It will be said, ‘Because your son was carrying the Qur’ān.’ It will be said (to the reader of the Qur’ān), ‘Read and ascend through the levels of Paradise.’ He will go on ascending as long as he recites, whether reciting slowly or quickly.”‘
(Musnad Imām Ahmad 22950. Umdatul-Tafsīr of Ahmad Shākir 1/73. Ibn Kathīr declared it Hasan upon the conditions of Muslim.)
عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّوَّاسَ، بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْكِلاَبِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ” يُؤْتَى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَهْلِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ تَقْدُمُهُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ ” . وَضَرَبَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثَلاَثَةَ أَمْثَالٍ مَا نَسِيتُهُنَّ بَعْدُ قَالَ ” كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ ظُلَّتَانِ سَوْدَاوَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا شَرْقٌ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا حِزْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا
An-Nawwas ibn Sam’ān said he heard the Prophet of Allāh (ﷺ) say:
“On the Day of Resurrection the Qur’ān and those who acted according to it will be brought with Sūrah al-Baqarah and AI- ‘Imrān preceding them. The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) likened them to three things, which I did not forget afterwards. He (ﷺ) likened them to two clouds, or two black canopies with light between them, or like two flocks of birds in ranks pleading for one who recited them.” (Sahīh Muslim 805)
عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَفَرَسُهُ مَرْبُوطٌ عِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ فَسَكَتَ فَسَكَتَتْ فَقَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ، فَسَكَتَ وَسَكَتَتِ الْفَرَسُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَجَالَتِ الْفَرَسُ، فَانْصَرَفَ وَكَانَ ابْنُهُ يَحْيَى قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا فَأَشْفَقَ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُ فَلَمَّا اجْتَرَّهُ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى مَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ حَدَّثَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ” اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ اقْرَأْ يَا ابْنَ حُضَيْرٍ ”. قَالَ فَأَشْفَقْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَطَأَ يَحْيَى وَكَانَ مِنْهَا قَرِيبًا فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا مِثْلُ الظُّلَّةِ فِيهَا أَمْثَالُ الْمَصَابِيحِ فَخَرَجَتْ حَتَّى لاَ أَرَاهَا. قَالَ ” وَتَدْرِي مَا ذَاكَ ”. قَالَ لاَ. قَالَ ” تِلْكَ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ دَنَتْ لِصَوْتِكَ وَلَوْ قَرَأْتَ لأَصْبَحَتْ يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا لاَ تَتَوَارَى مِنْهُمْ ”.
Usayd ibn Hudayr narrated:
That he was reciting Sūrah al-Baqarah at night, and his horse was tied beside him, the horse jolted. When he stopped reciting, the horse became steady, and when he started again, the horse jolted again. Then he stopped reciting and the horse became steady. He started reciting again and the horse was startled and jolted once again. Then he stopped reciting and his son, Yahyā was beside the horse. He was afraid that the horse might trample on him, so he turned to his son (to protect and move him). When he moved his son back, he looked up to the sky and saw a cloud radiating with light that looked like lanters.
The next morning he informed the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, “Recite, O Ibn Hudayr! Recite, O Ibn Hudayr!” Ibn Hudayr replied, “O Allāh’s Messenger (ﷺ)! My son, Yahyā was near the horse and I was afraid that it might trample on him, so I went to him and raised my head towards the sky. When I looked at the sky, I saw something like a cloud containing what looked like lanters, so I came out (the home) in order to see it, but I couldn’t see it.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do you know what that was?” Ibn Hudayr replied, “No.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Those were Angels who came near to you on the basis of your voice and if you had kept reciting, the people would have been able to come out and look at them when the morning came, and they would not be hidden from their eyes. (Sahīh Bukhārī 5018)
In a variant narration:
يا رسولَ اللهِ بَيْنَما أنا أقرَأُ اللَّيلةَ سورةَ البقرةِ إذ سمِعْتُ وَجْبةً مِن خَلْفي فظنَنْتُ أنَّ فرَسي انطلَق فقال رسولُ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم : ( اقرَأْ يا أبا عَتِيكٍ ) فالتفَتُّ فإذا مِثْلُ المِصباحِ مُدَلًّى بَيْنَ السَّماءِ والأرضِ ورسولُ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم يقولُ : ( اقرَأْ يا أبا عَتيكٍ ) فقال : يا رسولَ اللهِ فما استطَعْتُ أنْ أمضيَ فقال رسولُ اللهِ صلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّم : ( تلكَ الملائكةُ نزَلَتْ لِقراءةِ سورةِ البقرةِ أمَا إنَّكَ لو مضَيْتَ لرأَيْتَ العجائبَ
Usayd ibn Hudayr narrated: He said, “O Messenger of Allāh, while I was reciting Sūrah al-Baqarah in the night, I heard a loud noise behind me and I thought my horse had escaped.” The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said: “Recite, O Abū ‘Atīk.”
Then, I turned to behold the likeness of a lantern hanging between the heavens and the earth, as the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying: “Recite, O Abū ‘Atīk.”
He said, “O Messenger of Allāh, how can I keep going?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The Angels descended for your recitation of Sūrah al-Baqarah. Had you continued, you would have seen wonders.” (Ibn Hibbān 779. Declared Sahīh by Shu’ayb Arnaūt)
