BENEFIT AND VIRTUE :

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”.
