Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 255
Recite this:

Once every Morning & Evening
After every obligatory Salaah
Before you go to bed at night
In your houses
Benefits/Wisdom:

You will be under Allah’s Protection till the next Salaah
Allah will send an angel to protect you till the night is over
No shaytan or harmful thing will come close to your house
Proof/Hadith for the above:

1.  “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi at the end of every obligatory salaah, he will be under the protection of Allah till the next salaah.” [Classified as Hassan by Ibn al-Qayyim, as saheeh by Ibn Baz & as weak by al-Albani]

2.   “Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after each Prescribed Salaah, nothing will be standing between him and Paradise except death.”      [Nasai’/Tabarani/classified as sahih by al-Albani]

3. Story of Ubbay bin Ka’b and the jinn: Ubbay bin Ka’b(ra) stated that he used to have a room of dates. He suspected that some dates were going missing.  Thus one night he stood vigil and saw an animal like a young person. Ubbay(ra) said: “I greeted and received a reply”.  I asked, “Who are you? A man or  Jinn?” He said, “Jinn. I said, give me you hand”. He outstretched his hands. I noticed that the hand was like that of a dog. Its hair like the hair of the dog. I asked, “Are Jinns created like this?” He said, “The Jinns know that there is none among them who is stronger than me”.   I inquired, “Why did you steal?” He replied, “I have come to know that you love to give charity so decided to take some of your food.

“Ubbay(ra) said: “What will save us from you? He said, ‘Ayatul Kursi which is in Surah al-Baqarah. He who reads it at night will be saved from our evil till the morning and he who reads it in the morning will be saved from our evil till the night’.”

Ubbay(ra) said: I went to the Messenger of Allah (sws) in the morning and told him about my story. He(sws) said: “The evil one has said the truth."[Nasai’/Ibn Hibban Tabarni/Al-Hakim] Lesson: Rasul(sws)’s approval of this made the reading of Ayatul Qursi every morning and evening a Sunnah.

4. The same story happened to Abu Huraira(ra)except that the shaytan appeared to him in the shape of a man. [Bukhari] Lesson: Read Ayatul Kursi before you go to bed, Allah will send an angel to protect you till the night is over.

5. The same story happened to Abu Ayoub  al-Ansari(ra) with a female jinni (ghoul).  [Ahmed/Tirmithi/classified as sahih by  al-Albani] Lesson: Recite Ayatul-Kursi in your house and no shaytan will come close to it or anything harmful thing.

Then he (sws) said again, ‘Say’, so I said, ‘What should I say?’ He said: ‘Say, He is Allah, who is One’ and the two surahs of refuge (al-Falaq and an-Nas) when you enter upon the evening and the morning three times (each).

He used to do that three times. [Bukhari]
