عن أبي مسعود الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

مَنْ قَرَأَ بِالآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ

متفق عليه

“Whoever recites the last two ayat of Soorah Baqarah at night, the two ayat will suffice for him/her”.

Lessons from the Hadith

– Imam An-Nawawi explains in the Explanation of Sahih Muslim,

“It is said the recitation of these two ayat will (with the permission of Allaah):

1) suffice the reciter from praying qiyamul layl (night prayer),
2) protect him from Shaitaan,
3) protect him from calamities.

All these meanings/explanations are applicable together as well”.
