وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« أَفْضَلُ الْقُرْآنِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ، وَأَعْظَمُ آيَةٍ فِيهِ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ، وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَيَفِرُّ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ

✧ The best of the Quran is Surah al-Baqarah, and the greatest verse in it is Ayat al-Kursi. Indeed, Satan flees from a house in which Surah al-Baqarah is recited.
