Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the virtue of reciting the end of Surat al-Baqarah and what is the benefit derived from it?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned, did not recite from the middle of surahs except for what is reported from him in the two rak'ahs of Fajr
Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to usقُولُوا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:136]
Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and youقُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ
[Ali 'Imran 3:64]
. In fact, his way (peace and blessings be upon him) was to begin a surah from its start; if he wished to complete it, he would complete it, and if he wished not to complete it, he had that right. As for reciting from the middle of a surah, this is not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
