Abu ’Umāmah al-Bāhili (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Recite the Qur’an, for on the Day of Judgment it will come as an intercessor for those who recite it. Recite Az-Zahrāwayn (the two bright ones), Al-Baqarah, and Āl ‘Imrān, for on the Day of Judgment, they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surat al-Baqarah, for taking recourse to it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of grief, and magicians cannot confront it."
Reported by Muslim (No. 804a, 804b), Ahmad (No. 21126, 21136, 21169, 21186) and Ad-Darimi (No. 3242).
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged the regular recitation of the Qur’an, for it will intercede on the Day of Judgment for those who recite it and act upon it. He then emphasized the recitation of Surat al-Baqarah and Āl ‘Imrān, referring to them as "Az-Zahrāwayn"—the two radiant ones—due to their light and guidance. The reward of reciting them, reflecting on their meanings, and acting upon their teachings will come on the Day of Judgment in the form of two clouds, or something similar, or two flocks of birds with outstretched wings joined together, offering shade to their companion and defending him. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) further emphasized the importance of consistently reciting Surat al-Baqarah, reflecting on its meanings, and acting upon its teachings. He stated that doing so brings immense blessing and benefit in both this world and the Hereafter, while abandoning it brings regret and sorrow on the Day of Judgment. Among the virtues of this surah is that magicians are unable to harm those who recite it.

Explanation in Arabic
حث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على مداومة قراءة القرآن؛ فإنه يشفع يوم القيامة للتالين له العاملين به، ثم أكد على قراءة سورتي البقرة وآل عمران وسماهما الزهراوين المنيرتين؛ لنورهما وهدايتهما، وأن أجر وثواب تلاوتهما وتدبر معانيهما والعمل بما فيهما يأتي يوم القيامة كسحابتين أو غيرهما، أو كأنهما جماعتين من الطير باسطات أجنحتها متصلاً بعضها ببعض، تظلان صاحبهما وتدافعان عنه.
ثم أكد صلى الله عليه وسلم على الاستمرار في قراءة سورة البقرة وتدبر معانيها والعمل بما فيها، وأن ذلك فيه بركة ومنفعة عظيمة في الدنيا والآخرة، وترك ذلك فيه حسرة وندامة يوم القيامة، وأن من فضل هذه السورة أن السحرة لا تقدر أن تضر من يقرأها.
الأمر بتلاوة القرآن والإكثار من ذلك، وأنه يشفع لأصحابه يوم القيامة، القارئين له، المتمسكين بهديه، القائمين بما أمر به، والتاركين لما نهى عنه.
فضل قراءة سورة البقرة وآل عمران وعظيم أجرهما.
فضل قراءة سورة البقرة، وأنها تحمي صاحبها من السحر.

" اقرءوا القرآن فإنه يأتي يوم القيامة شفيعًا لأصحابه"
