باب في الحثِّ على سور آيات مخصوصة
وعن أَبي هريرةَ رضيَ اللَّه عنهُ أَنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « لا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِر ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِن الْبيْتِ الَّذي تُقْرأُ فِيهِ سُورةُ الْبقَرةِ » رواه مسلم.
1018/183 - رياض الصالحين
Inducement towards the Recitation of some Special verses and Surah of the Noble Qur'an
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying: "Do not turn your houses into graveyards. Satan runs away from the house in which Surat Al-Baqarah is recited."[Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith instructs us not to turn our homes into the like of a graveyard through the negligence of reciting the Qur'an in them. It also points out the excellence of Surat Al-Baqarah, which when recited, will certainly keep the devil away.
