The House in which the Quran is Recited
It is reported that ‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – Allâh be pleased with him – said:
The house in which the Qur’ân is not recited is like a derelict house that has no one to maintain it.
It is also reported that he said:
Verily the emptiest of houses are those that are empty of the Book of Allâh.
It is reported that Abû Hurayrah – Allâh be pleased with him – used to say about the house in which the Qur’ân is recited:
It becomes spacious for its inhabitants, the good of it becomes plentiful, the angels come to it and the devils leave it. And the house in which the Qur’ân is not recited becomes cramped for its inhabitants, has little good in it, and the devils come to it.
Ibn Abî Shaybah, Al-Musannaf articles 30645, 30647 and 30650.

Flagged for Follow-Up
Maytham, a Companion of Allâh’s Messenger – peace and blessings be upon him – said:
It has reached me that an angel goes out, holding his flag, with the first person to go to the masjid and stays holding his flag with him until he returns and then enters his home with it. And Shaytân goes out, holding his flag, with the first person to go to the market and stays holding his flag with him until he returns and puts it in his home.
Al-Mundhirî states in Al-Targhîb wa Al-Tarhîb, “Reported by Ibn Abî ‘Âsim amd Abû Nu’aym in Ma’rifatu Al-Sahâbah and other works.” Graded sahîh by Al-Albâni in Sahîh Al-Targhîb wa Al-Tarhîb 1:101.
Dhikr and Sleep
‘Abdullah b. Mas’ûd – Allâh be pleased with him – said:
Falling asleep when remembering Allâh is from Shaytân; if you want you can test this: when you lie down and want to fall asleep, try remembering Allâh ‘azza wa jall.
