Translation: 530. Narrated Anas ibn Malek: ' A man of Al-Ansar (the Supporters) used to lead the people in the prayer in the mosque of Qoba '. He used to recite Surat Qol Howallaho Ahad after reciting Surat Al- Fatiha and before reciting the chapter after it in each raka'a (of the raka'as where one is ordered to recite both Surat Al-Fatiha and another chapter). The people talked to him concerning this saying: " You recite that Sura (Surat Qol Howallaho ' Ahad), seeing that it does not suffice you, you recite another chapter after it. Either you should recite it alone or abandon reciting it and recite another chapter. " The man said: " I will never abandon reciting it. If you like this, I will lead you in the prayer, otherwise I will not lead you in the prayer. " They realized that he was the best among them. to lead them in the prayer, so they disliked that someone else beside him should lead them in the prayer. When the Prophet came to them they told him the story. The Prophet said: " So and so! What prevents you from responding to your companions ' advice and what obligates you to recite that Sura in each raka'a? " The man said: " Messenger of Allah! I like that Sura. " The Messenger of Allah said: " Your love of it has admitted you into Paradise. ووو "
Hadith 531: Hadith 531
Translation: 531. Narrated Oqba ibn Amer Al-Johani: " The Prophet said: " Allah has revealed some matchless verses to me. They are Al MoA wwithatayn [ 113 and 114] 3. "
Translation: 3 These two Suras are matchless as far as seeking refuge from the evils of mankind and jinn is concerned. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to invoke Allah for protection from these evils with various invocations, but when these two Suras were revealed he clung to them and left whatever invocations besides them. The Hadith is plain evidence against those who claim that the word ' Say ' is comprised in the two Soorahs.

Hadith 533: Hadith 533
Translation: 533. Narrated Abu-Mas'oud Al-Ansari: " The Messenger of Allah said: “ He that recited the last two verses of Surat Al-Baqarah by night will be sufficed4.
Translation: 4 The Hadith shows that reciting these two verses suffices the Muslim. The scholars have different views Abu-ut the interpretation of the words ' they suffice him '. Some scholars say that it refers to performing the voluntary Night Prayer, basing their opinion on the Marfo'o Hadith narrated by Ibn Mas'oud that says: He that recites the two concluding verses of Surat Al-Baqara, they will suffice him for standing in the voluntary Night Prayer for a night. " The second group interprets them as meaning that no devil or evil spirit will come near the house where they are recited for three nights. They base their opinion on the Hadith No. 546. The other views can be summarized by saying that the phrase: ' reciting them is sufficient for the Muslim ' means that they strengthen his faith because they comprise both faith and good deeds, hence they protect him from evil and Satan's insinuations.
