حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ
مَنْ قَرَأَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتَ شَيْطَانٌ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ أَرْبَعًا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا وَآيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَتَينِ بَعْدَهَا وَثَلَاثٌ خَوَاتِيمُهَا أَوَّلُهَا {لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَّشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ}

✧ Whoever recites ten verses from Surat Al-Baqarah in a night, no devil will enter that house that night until morning: four from its beginning, the Verse of the Kursi, two verses after it, and three at its end, the first of which is: {To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And whether you reveal what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.}
