1368. It was narrated that Abu Mas'ud said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever recites the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah at night, that will be sufficient for him." (Sahih) In his narration (one of the narrators) Hafs said: "Abdur- Rahmân said: 'I met Abu Mas'ud when he was performing Tawâf, and he narrated this to me.'
1368 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، وَأَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْآيَتَانِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ مَنْ قَرَأَهُمَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ» ، قَالَ حَفْصٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ

'Recitation of the last two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah being sufficient for the night' means that if a person has failed to perform Tahajjud on a certain night, let him at least recite these two Verses, since they would bring as much mercy from Allâh as would the prayer of Tahajjud, if it had been performed. Or else it could mean that the recitation of these two Verses is enough to ward off any trouble or calamity from him for the night.
