عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ بِالْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ البَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ». (صحيح البخاري: 5009)
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Masoud – رضي الله عنه – that The Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم –: said: “Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah in the night, that will suffice him.” (Sahih Al Bukhari: 5009)
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: لاَ تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ، وَإِنَّ البَيْتَ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ البَقَرَةُ لاَ يَدْخُلُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ. قال الترمذي: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. (سنن الترمذي: 2877)

أَبُو أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لِأَصْحَابِهِ، اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ، وَسُورَةَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، فَإِنَّهُمَا تَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ، أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ، أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ، تُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا، اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ، فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ، وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ». (صحيح مسلم: 804)
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Umamah Bahili – رضي الله عنه – that The Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم –: said: Read the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for its companions, recite the two Zahrawis: Surah Al baqarah, and Surat Al Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as if they are clouds, or as if they were two groups of swarming birds arguing on behalf of their owners, Read Surat Al-Baqarah, for taking it is a blessing, and leaving it is grief, and the heroine cannot do it.” (Sahih Muslim: 804)

عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، أَيُّ آيَةٍ مَعَكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الَّلهِ أَعْظَمُ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: الَّلهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: «أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ، أَيُّ آيَةٍ مَعَكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَعْظَمُ؟» قَالَ: قُلْتُ: {اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة: 255]. قَالَ: فَضَرَبَ فِي صَدْرِي، وَقَالَ: «لِيَهْنِ لَكَ يَا أَبَا الْمُنْذِرِ الْعِلْمُ». (سنن أبي داود: 1460)
According to another hadith narrated on the authority of Ubai bin Ka’ab – رضي الله عنه – that The Prophet – صلى الله عليه وسلم –: said:, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) asked Sayyidna ‘Ubayy ibn Ka’b (رض) ‘Which is the greatest ayah (verse) of the Qur’an?’ Sayyidna ‘Ubayy ibn Ka’b (رض) said: “Ayah al-Kursi’. Approvingly, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘0 Abu al-Mundhir, may Allah bless you in your knowledge’.
عَنْ أَبِي ذرٍ قَال: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَأَيُّ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ: آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ. المسند الجامع (16/ 201)
Sayyidna Abu Dharr (رض) ، asked the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) : ‘0 Messenger of Allah, which is the greatest ayah (verse) of the Qur’an?’ He said : ‘Ayah al-Kursi’. (Al Musnad Al Jamih: v 16 p: 201).
Sayyidna Abu Hurayrah (رض) has reported the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying: ‘There is a verse in Surah Al-Baqarah which is the Sayyidah سَیَدہ (the Chief) of the verses of the Qur’an. The Satan شیطان leaves the house where it is recited.’
According to a hadith in al-Nasai, the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: If someone recites Ayah al-Kursi after every fard salah فرض نماز ، nothing stops him from entering Paradise except death.’ It means that, immediately after death, this person will start witnessing the traces of Paradise and its comfort and tranquility.
