Key to al-Baqarah. Khurram Murad

is why the Prophet (bpuh) spoke very highly of the many excellences and merits of al-Baqarah. Sahl ibn Sa`d reports that the Prophet (bpuh) said: ‘Of everything there is a pinnacle, and the pinnacle of the Qur’an is Sūrat al-Baqarah. Whoever recites it in his house during the day, Satan would not enter his house for three days, and whoever recites it at night, Satan would not enter his house for three nights’ (Ibn Kathīr, Ṭabarānī).

      Abu Hurayrah reports that the Prophet (bpuh) said: ‘Don’t turn your houses into graves. Satan does not enter the house in which al-Baqarah is recited’ (Muslim, Ibn Kathīr).
