TRANSLITERATION : 2:256 Laa ik’raaha fid-deen; Qat-tabiya’nar rushdu minal ghayy; Famai ‘yakfur bit taa’ghooti wa yu’mim billaahi faqadis tamsaka bil’urwatil wusqaa lanfisaama lahaa; Wallaahu samee’un aleem

TRANSLATION : 2:256 There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

Ash-Sha`bi r.a said that Abdullah Ibn Mas`ud r.a said: “Whoever recites the 10 verses from Surat Al-Baqarah in a night, and then Shaytan will not enter his house that night”.

In another narration Ibn Mas`ud r.a said: “The Shaytan will not come near him or to his family, nor will he be touched by anything that he dislikes. Also, if these verses were to be recited over a senile person, they would wake him up”.
