Hadith #59
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ
اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ تَعَلَّمُوا الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّهُمَا هُمَا الزَّهْرَاوَانِ يَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ غَيَايَتَانِ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُجَادِلَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا

وكيع
بشير بن مهاجر
English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Learn Surah al-Baqarah, for acquiring it is a blessing and abandoning it is a regret, and the sorcerers cannot bear it. Learn Surah al-Baqarah and Surah Al 'Imran, for they are the two radiant ones that will come on the Day of Resurrection as if they were two clouds or two canopies or two flocks of birds in formation, interceding for their companion.'
