English

[1874] 252 – (804) It was (A)—O [Avt] narrated from Zaid that he heard Abü Salim saying: "Abu Umâmah Al-BâhilI narrated to me: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: "Recite the Qur'ân, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection interceding for its companions. Recite the two bright ones, Sârat A1-Baqarah and SErat Al 'Imrân, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as if they were two clouds, or as if they were two shadows, or as if they were two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading on behalf of their companions. Recite Sârat Al- Baqarah, for reciting it regularly is a blessing and forsaking it is a loss, and Al-Batalah (the magicians) cannot withstand it." Mu'âwiyah (one of the narrators) said: "It was conveyed to me that Al-Baalah is the magicians."
