أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ شَفِيعٌ لِأَهْلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ» قِيلَ وَمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ؟ قَالَ «الْبَقَرَةُ وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَفِرْقَيْنِ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ بِيضٍ صَوَافَّ يَدْفَعَانِ بَأَجْنِحَتِهِمَا عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ فَإِنَّ تَعَلُّمَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ»

✧ Learn the Quran, for it will intercede for its people on the Day of Resurrection. Recite the two bright ones." It was said: "What are the two bright ones?" He said: "Al-Baqarah and Al 'Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as if they were two clouds, or two canopies, or two flocks of white birds in ranks, defending their companions with their wings. Learn Al-Baqarah, for learning it is a blessing, abandoning it is a regret, and the sorcerers cannot master it.
