Benefits Last 2 verses Surah Al Baqarah - Protection from evil By Sheikh Hazem Rajab

The last 2 ayats of Surah Baqarah are very short verses with extensive rewards according to hadith.
Anyone who knew the benefits wouldn’t go to sleep before having recited these two verses.
For this reason, we should make a special effort to memorize these verses by heart, and to share this knowledge with friends and family members.
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
“When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Lailat al Miraj), he came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha, which is in the sixth heaven. That is where everything that comes up from below ends, and where everything that comes down from above, until it is taken from it. Allah says: When what covered the lote-tree did cover it! [1] He said: “It was moths of gold. And I was given three things: The five daily prayers, the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah, and whoever of my Ummah dies without associating anything with Allah will be forgiven for Al-Muqhimat.” The sins of the worst magnitude that drag one into the Fire.” (An-Nihayah)
This is from Sunan an-Nasa’i hadith 451 and classified as Sahih by Darussalam.
Abd al-Rahman b. Yazid said:
I asked Abu Mas’ud while he was making circumambulation of the Ka’bah (about the recitation of some verses from the Qur’an). He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If anyone recited two verses from the last of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.
From Sunan Abi Dawud hadith 1397 graded as Sahih by Al-Albani.
HADITH - QURAN WILL INTERCEDE ON DAY OF JUDGEMENT
Abu Umama said he heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) say:
Recite the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, al-Baqara and Surah Al ‘Imran, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara, for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief, and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu’awiya said: It has been conveyed to me that here Batala means magicians.)
Reference: Sahih Muslim 804 a
In-book reference: Book 6, Hadith 302
From the hadith above, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentions that we should read the entire Quran as it will intercede for us on the day of judgement. Then his focus shifts and narrows onto the two blessed surahs, Baqarah and Imran, which will be likened to two giant clouds or flocks of birds which will vouch for us to go to Jannah.
He says, two clouds or flocks of birds symbolically so we can visualize and see just how large the the rewards will be on the day of judgement.
Surah Baqarah has been praised almost like no other chapter in the Qur’an.There are many hadiths which mention the virtues of Surah Baqarah (e.g. the benefits of Ayatul Kursi verse 255) for those who read it but we have to constrain this topic to just the last two verses otherwise this article would be too long.
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
