Friend, are you ready for a memorization challenge?
Introducing: The Protection Quest Challenge.
Ideal for beginners, your memorization mission is to memorize:
Al-Baqarah * Ayah 1-5, 255-257, 284-286
Here are some of the benefits of memorizing these particular ayaat of the Quran:
When someone recites these 10 verses from Surah Al-Baqarah, Shaytan will not enter his house at night. Shaytan will also not come near him or his family, nor he will not be touched by anything that he dislikes.
Also, `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, “Shaytan flees from the house where Surat Al-Baqarah is heard.” This Hadith was collected by An-Nasa’i in Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, and Al-Hakim recorded it in his Mustadrak, and then said that its chain of narration is authentic, although the Two Sahihs did not collect it.
In his Musnad, Ad-Darimi recorded that Ibn Mas`ud said, “Shaytan departs the house where Surat Al-Baqarah is being recited, and as he leaves, he passes gas.”
Ad-Darimi also recorded that Ash-Sha`bi said that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, “Whoever recites ten Ayat from Surat Al-Baqarah in a night, then Shaytan will not enter his house that night. (These ten Ayat are) four from the beginning, Ayat Al-Kursi (255), the following two Ayat (256-257) and the last three Ayat.”
In another narration, Ibn Mas`ud said, “Then Shaytan will not come near him or his family, nor will he be touched by anything that he dislikes. Also, if these Ayat were to be recited over a senile person, they would wake him up.”
