Is it permissible to recite specific verses from Surat Al-Baqarah in order to obtain its reward and benefit from the Hadith: "Taking it is a blessing, and leaving it is a regret, and the sorcerers cannot confront it"?
This was narrated by Muslim. The meaning of "taking it is a blessing, and abandoning it is a regret, and the idlers cannot do it" includes persistently reciting Surat Al-Baqarah in its entirety and contemplating its meanings. "Taking it" means persistently reciting it, contemplating its meanings, and acting upon what it contains, which is a great blessing. "Abandoning it" means regret on the Day of Judgment. "The idlers cannot do it" means that those who are idle and lazy are unable to do it due to its length. It was also said to refer to sorcerers, meaning they are unable to invalidate it or harm whoever recites it. Reciting part of the contains good, but the promised reward in the hadith is attained by whoever persists in reciting the surah in its entirety.
