Is there a prophetic Hadith regarding the virtue or greatness of verse 74 from Surat Al-Baqarah: (Then your hearts hardened), and does this verse expel devils?

The Holy Quran is described by God as "oft-repeated [verses] at which shiver the skins of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allah." And that if it (the Quran) were to be revealed to a mountain, it would have crumbled from fear of God. All its verses cause hearts to humble and souls to take heed, even if some have a greater impact. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wept when reciting verses from Surat An-Nisa concerning the horrors of the Day of Judgment. However, specifying a particular verse with a special meaning, to the exclusion of others, requires proof.
