In a different narration, the holy Prophet mentioned that whoever recites surat ul Baqara, shaytan will not be able to enter the person’s house. This is the surah that contains ayat al-Kursi, and because of its length and the power of ayat al-Kursi, many people interpret this to mean that reciting Ayat al-Kursi prevents shaytan from entering the home.
