Recite the Quls

Recite the last three Surat in the Quran (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas) three times during Fajr, and three times after Maghrib, and it will be sufficient for you in everything.

Abdullah bin Khubaib (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to me: “Recite Surat Al Ikhlâs and Al Mu’awwudhatain (Surat Al Falaq and Surat An Nâs) three times at dawn and dusk. It will suffice you in all respects”
[Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi]

Last two verses of Al-Baqarah

These verses are verses number 285 and 286 which mean:
“The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying],” We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.” Allaah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
[Quran 2:285–286]

The Prophet said: “If somebody recites the last two verses of Chapter Al-Baqarah at night, that will be sufficient for him.”
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]

The Prophet Muhammed said: “Recite the last two verses from Surat Al-Baqarah, for I was given them from a treasure trove beneath the Throne”
(Ahmad)

It is reported on the authority of Ali that he said: “I do not consider it fitting for anyone who has understood Islam to sleep (at night) until he has recited Ayatul Kursi and the ending of Surat Al-Baqarah, for they are a gift to your Prophet from the treasure which lies beneath the Throne.”
(Narrated by Ibn Mardawaih)
