Aifa‘ b. ‘Abd al-Kilā‘ī told of a man who asked God’s messenger which sūra of the Qur’ān was greatest and was told that it is“Say, He is God, One.”He asked which verse of the Qur’ān was greatest and was told that it is the Throne Verse,“God, there is no god but He, the Living, he Eternal.”He asked God’s prophet which verse he would like to bring good to him and his people and was told, “The end of sūra al-Baqara, for it is one of the treasures of God’s mercy from under His Throne which He gave to this people, and there is no good in this world and the next which it does not include.”Dārimī transmitted it.

Jubair b. Nufair reported God’s messenger as saying,“God finished sūra al Baqara with two verses which I have been given from His treasure which is under the Throne ; so learn them and teach them to your womenfolk, for they are a blessing, a means of approach [to God] and a supplication.”Dārimī transmitted it in mursal form.

Khālid b. Ma'dān said:Recite the rescuer, which is A.L.M. The sending down (Qur’ān, 32) for I have heard that a man who had committed many sins used to recite it and nothing else. It spread its wing over him and said,“My Lord, forgive him, for he often used to recite me so the Lord most high made it an intercessor for him and said,“Record for him a good deed and raise him a degree in place of every sin.”Khālid said also: It will dispute on behalf of the one who recites it when he is in his grave saying,“O God, if I am a part of Thy Book, make me an intercessor for him; but if I am not a part of Thy Book, blot me out of it.”It will be like a bird putting its wing on him, it will intercede for him and will protect him from the punishment in the grave. He said the same about“Blessed is He.”(Qur’ān, 67) Khālid did not go to sleep at night till he had recited them. Tā’ūs said they were given sixty virtues more than any other sūra in the Qur’ān.
