What is the virtue of Surat Al-Baqarah?

Many hadiths have been narrated concerning the virtues of Surat al-Baqarah, among them is the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Recite the two luminous ones, Surat al-Baqarah and Surat Aal Imran, for they will come on the Day of Resurrection as though they are two clouds or two canopies, or as though they are two flocks of birds in ranks, arguing on behalf of their reciters. Recite Surat al-Baqarah, for taking it is a blessing, and abandoning it is regret, and the sorcerers cannot overcome it."

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, also said: "Indeed, for everything there is a hump, and the hump of the Qur'an is Surat al-Baqarah. Whoever recites it in his house at night, Satan will not enter his house for three nights. And whoever recites it during the day, Satan will not enter his house for three days."
