Authentic hadithNarrated by Muslim

Do not turn your houses into graves. Indeed, Satan runs away from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لَا تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ، إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ».

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbids us from failing to pray in our houses, thus making them like graveyards where prayer is not offered. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that the devil runs away from the house in which Surat al-Baqarah is recited.
