Hadith text: Whoever recites the last two verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah…

عن أبي مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «مَنْ قَرَأَ بِالْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ».

Abu Mas‘ūd (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites the last two verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah at a night, they will suffice him."

Explanation of the hadith: Whoever recites the last two verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah…

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that whoever recites the last two verses of Surat al-Baqarah at night, Allah will protect him from evil and harm. It is also said that they are sufficient for him in place of qiyām al-layl (supererogatory prayer at night). They are also said to suffice him in place of all regular dhikrs. Others say that they are the least sufficient amount of Qur'anic recitation in qiyām al-layl.

Other opinions were also expressed. Perhaps all those views are correct and consistent with the Hadīth's wording.
