Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The content of this hadith is also mentioned in the following marfu‘ narration: Sayyiduna Abdullah radi Allahu anhu says: The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “Recite Surah al-Baqarah in your houses, for indeed, the Shaytan does not enter a house in which Surah al-Baqarah is recited.” (Hakim: 1/561, Sahihah: 1521)
Surah al-Baqarah is truth, and Shaytan is falsehood; wherever truth manifests and arrives, falsehood flees from there with its tail between its legs.
