باب في الحثِّ على سور آيات مخصوصة
وعن أَبي مسعودٍ البدْرِيِّ رضيَ اللَّه عنهُ عن النبيِّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : «منْ قَرَأَ بالآيتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورةِ البقَرةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ » متفقٌ عليه .قيل : كَفَتَاهُ المَكْرُوهَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ، وَقِيلَ : كَفَتَاهُ مِنْ قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ .

Inducement towards the Recitation of some Special verses and Surah of the Noble Qur'an
Abu Mas`ud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying, "He who recites the two Ayat at the end of Surat Al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
"Suffice him" here means that he will be protected from the evils. Its another meaning is that these two Ayat will take the place of Tahajjud (optional prayer in the late hours of the night). Imam An-Nawawi has cited the latter meaning.
