With the reference of Sahih al-Bukhari 5015
Narrated by Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one-third of the Qur’an in one night?” This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, “Who among us has the power to do so, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” Allah Apostle replied: ” Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need.’ (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1–to the End) is equal to one-third of the Qur’an.”
Surah al-Falaq
Surah Falaq is the 113th chapter of the Holy Quran which consists of a total number of 5 ayats. This Surah helps to seek Allah’s protection from the black magic and evil eye.
Surah al-Naas

With the reference of Sahih al-Bukhari 5016,
Narrated by Aisha (RA):
Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) became sick, he would recite Mu’awwidhat (Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An- Nas) and then blow his breath over his body. When he became seriously ill, I used to recite (these two Suras) and rub his hands over his body hoping for its blessings.
As these 4 Qul Surahs are short and easy to memorize, everyone must recite them on a regular basis, as they hold great benefits and numerous rewards which will help us in this world and on the day of judgment.
