It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Learn the Qur'an, for it will intercede for its readers on the Day of Resurrection. Learn Surah al-Baqarah and Surah Al Imran; learn these two radiant surahs, for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as though they were two clouds, or two canopies, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading on behalf of their reader. And learn Surah al-Baqarah, for learning it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and the sorcerers cannot withstand it." By "batalah" he (peace and blessings be upon him) meant sorcerers.
