Answer
Once Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) asked Ubayy in Ka'ab (Radhiallaahu Anhu), 'Do you know which is the greatest Aayat in the Qur' aan?' He replied, 'Allah and His Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) knows best.' Thereafter, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) repeated the question, so Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'ab (Radhiallaahu Anhu) replied, 'Allaahu laa ilaaha illaa huwal yahhul qayyoom.' Then Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) hit his chest (affectionately) and said, 'May you be congratulated on your knowledge.' (Sahih Muslim)
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Everything has a peak and the peak of the Qur'aan is Surah Baqarah, and in it is the verse which is the leader of all the verses in the Qur'aan.' (Sunan Tirmidhi)
And in a narration of al-Mustadrak, the following words were added, 'It is not recited in any house except that the devil flees from it, it is Aayaatul Kursi.' (Mustadrak Haakim) see al-Targheeb vol.2 pg.370
Sayyiduna Abu Umaamah (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Whoever recites Aayaatul Kursi after every Salat, the only barrier between him and paradise will be death.' (Sahih ibn Hibbaan)
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
