Answer:
Rewards for Ayatul kursi
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone,
and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of
His Messengers.
This is the translation of the Greatest Verse of the Quran, Aayat-ul-Kursi Surah Baqarah
verse 255:
Allah! There is no Allah but He,
The Living, The Self-Subsisting Eternal.
No slumber can seize him nor sleep. His are all things in the Heavens and on
earth. Who is there who can intercede in
His presence, except as He permitteth? He Knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before, or after, or behind
them. Nor shall they compass aught of
His Knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and
the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and
preserving them. For
He is The Most High, The Supreme (in Glory).
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2169 Narrated by Ayfa'
ibn Abdul Kila'i
Ayfa' told of a man who asked Allah's
Messenger (saws) which Surah of the Qur'an was greatest and was told that it was the Surah Ikhlaas (Surah 112). He asked which Verse of the Qur'an was the greatest, and was told that it was the Verse
of the Throne, Aayat-ul-Kursi (2:255). He asked the Messenger of Allah (saws) which
verse he would like to bring good to him and his people and was told, "The
end of Surah al-Baqarah,
for it is one of the treasures of Allah's Mercy from under His Throne, which He
gave to these people, and there is no good in this world and the next, which it
does not include."

The Messenger of Allah
(saws) called the Aayat-ul-Kursi or Verse of the
Throne (Baqarah 2:255) the single Greatest Verse of
the Holy Quran, and declared its many benefits for
those who recite it.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 6.530 Narrated
byAbu Masud
Narrated
Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (saws)
ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came to me and
started stealing of the foodstuff. I caught him and said, "I will take you
to Allah's Messenger (saws)!" Then
Abu Huraira described the whole narration and said: ‘That person said (to me), "Please don't take me to
Allah's Apostle and I will tell you a few words by which Allah will benefit
you. When you go to your bed, recite
Ayat-al-Kursi, (2.255) for then there will be a guard
(Angel) from Allah who will protect you all night long, and Shaitaan
will not be able to come near you till dawn." When the Prophet (saws) heard the story he
(saws) said (to me), "He (who came to you at night) told you the truth
although he is a liar; and it was the Shaitaan."
The Prophet (saws) once advised his
daughter, Fatimah, "Say ‘Subhan-Allah’
thirty three times, Al-hamdu-lillah thirty three
times, and Allahu Akbar
thirty four times." He also commended the recitation of Ayatal-Kursi (2:255), the Verse of the Throne, along with the
above supplications, and said that he who does so will be under the protection
of Allah, Who will assign a protector (Angel) to protect him.
Abu Umamah
reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "For whoever recites the
Verse of the Throne, Ayat-ul-Kursi (Quran 2:255) at the end of every prayer, nothing will
prevent him from entering

Imam Ali (r.a.) reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Whoever
recites the Verse of the Throne Aayat-ul-Kursi
(2:255) at the end (after) of every obligatory prayer will be in Allah's
protection until the next prayer."

The rewards of reciting
this great Verse of the Quran, Aayat-ul-Kursi
(2:255), are known to Allah Subhanah Alone. Only Allah and His appointed Messenger (saws)
have a right to declare its rewards, and it does not behove
a believer, who sincerely believes in
Allah and the Last Day, to say something of the unseen without evidence from
the Quran and the Sunnah.
There is absolutely no
evidence in the Quran or Sunnah
that reciting this verse an ‘x’ number of times would bring in ‘n’ number of
rewards as stated in the email. The
believers must accept only what Allah and His Messenger (saws) have declared, and reject everything that does not conform
to the guidance and teachings of Allah and His Messenger (saws).
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
