Virtues of each surah in the quran Surah Al-Fatiha #1 **************** The Prophet said, 'The mother of the Quran

are the seven oft repeated verses' [Bukhari 4704] The Prophet said, 'In the Fatiha of the Quran, there is a cure for all maladies' [Darimi 3236] Surah Al-Baqara #2 **************** The Prophet said, The Quran and those who committed themselves to it will be presented on the day of judgment, preceded by Surah Al-Baqara and Surah Al-Imran. [Muslim 805] The Prophet said, 'Learn how to recite Surah Al-Baqara for there is a blessing in it, and there is sorrow for abandoning it, and it is unbearable for the idle' and that 'Al-Baqara and Al-Imran are like two flowers which will shade their learner on the day of Judgment, as if there were two large clouds or two flocks of birds'. [Ahmad 21872 & Buraida al-Aslami Muslim 1/553] The Prophet said, 'Recite Surah Al-Baqara in your dwellings and do not keep them as tombs. He also said that whoever recited Surah Al-Baqara at night would be crowned with a crown of paradise.' [Baihaqi in Al-Shuaib] The Prophet said, 'Do not make your house as tombs, for satan averts a dwelling wherein Surah Al-Baqara is recited' [Muslim 780] The Prophet was asked, 'Which part of the Quran is the best?'. He replied, 'The Surah in which the cow is mentioned'. He was then asked 'Which part of that Surah?'. He replied, 'The verse of the Throne and the last part of Surah al Baqara came down from under the Throne' [Darimi 3248] The Prophet said, 'Al Baqara is the top (or pinnacle) of the Quran. Eighty angels came down with each one of its verses and extracted the verse of the throne from under the throne, and it was joined to the other verses' [Ahmad 5/26] The Prophet said, 'Whoever recited the Verse of the Throne at the end of each obligatory prayer, nothing could prevent him from going to paradise except death' [Darimi 3249/A] The Prophet said, 'Whoever recites 4 verses from the first part of Surah al Baqara, the verse of the Throne, two verses after the verse of the Throne and three verses from the last part of Surah al Baqara, Satan would never come near him or the members of his family on that day, and nothing he despises would come near him or the members of his family, and never are these verses recited over a madman without him regaining his consciousness' [Darimi 3249/A in the Book of Excellence of the Quran; an-Nasai in the Deeds during the Day and Night]; Ibn Hibban & Tabrani]

Abdullah ibn Masud said, 'Whoever recited ten verses from al-Baqara in the night, Satan shall not have access to that house, during the night till he wakes in the morning. These are: Four from the first part of the Surah, followed by the verse of the Throne, two verses after the verse of the Throne and three from the last part of the Surah'. [Darimi 3248/A]
