حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ عِنَانٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ : أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَقُولُ :" إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَتَّسِعُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْضُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَكْثُرُ خَيْرُهُ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ، وَإِنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَيَضِيقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَهْجُرُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ، وَتَحْضُرُهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، وَيَقِلُّ خَيْرُهُ، أَنْ لَا يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ "

Muadh bin Hani told us, Harb bin Shaddad told us, Yahya Ibn Abi Kathir told us, Hafs bin Anan Al-Hanafi told me: Abu Hurairah used to say: “The house is large enough for its people, the angels attend it, the devils abandon it, and its goodness is abundant when it is recited in it.” The Qur’an, and indeed the House becomes narrow for its people and the angels abandon it, and the devils attend it, and its goodness is diminished if the Qur’an is not recited in it.”
