وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَجْعَلُوا بِيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ من الْبَيْت الَّذِي يقْرَأ فِيهِ سُورَة الْبَقَرَة»
Abu Hurayrah reported God’s messenger as saying, “Do not make your houses graveyards*. The devil flies from the house in which sura al-Baqara is recited.” *A house in which there is no prayer or recitation of the Qur’an is here intended. The dead cannot engage in these practices, so such a house is likened to a graveyard.
