Surah
Ikhlaas, Falaq & Naas: These Surahs should be read three times
in the morning an evening, three times after Maghrib and once after every other fard prayers.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him)
also taught us to read them at night before going to bed.
The two last surahs are also known as al-Muawwidhatain,
meaning the two from which one seeks refuge. Ibn ul Qayyim (RA) said “These
two chapters are of immense benefit and every single servant is in need of
them, and this need is indispensable and essential. They have a potent effect
in repressing magic, the evil eye and indeed every form of evil. The need that
a servant has of these two chapters is greater than the need he has of rest,
food, drink and clothes.

Below are some authentic hadith reported by the companions of The Messenger (pbuh):
1. Protects Against All Evil
Narrated Abdullah ibn Khubayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite Qul Huwallahu Ahad (Surah Ikhlas) and Al-Mu'awwadhatain (Surah Al-Falaq And Surah An-Nas) in the evening and in the morning, three times, and that will suffice you against everything (from all evils).
(Abu Dawood)
2. Recite Them Before Sleeping
Narrated by 'Aisha (may Allaah be pleased with her) Whenever the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas, Surat Al-Falaq and Surat An-Nas, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times.
(Sahih Bukhari)
3. Use For Seeking Refuge In Allah
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Ibn Aabis, shall I tell you about the best protection used by those who seek it. He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allaah. He (Pbuh) said: “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak.” and ‘Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.’ It is included in these two surahs.”
[Abu Dawood]
4. Equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an
Narrated by Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a man heard another man reciting Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad and repeating it. The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him about that. The man thought that it was too little, but the Messenger of Allaah (Pbuh) said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.”
(Sahih Bukhari)
5. Recite At The End of Every Prayer
Narrated by Uqbah bin ‘Aamir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Recite last 3 Surahs of the Qur'an (An-nas, falaq and ikhlas) at the end of every prayer.”
[Abu Dawood]
Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112)
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Qul huwal laahu ahad
Allaah hus-samad
Lam yalid wa lam yoolad
Wa lam yakul-lahu kufuwan ahad
In the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say: He is Allaah, the One and Only;
Allaah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
Surah Al-Falaq (Chapter 113)
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Qul a'uzoo bi rabbil-falaq
Min sharri ma khalaq
Wa min sharri ghasiqin iza waqab
Wa min sharrin-naffaa-saati fil 'uqad
Wa min shar ri haasidin iza hasad
In the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn
From the mischief of created things;
From the mischief of Darkness as it overspreads;
From the mischief of those who practice secret arts;
And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy.
Surah An-Nas (Chapter 114)
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Qul a'uzu birabbin naas
Malikin naas
ilaahin naas
Min sharril was waasil khannaas
Al lazee yuwas wisu fee sudoorin naas
Minal jinnati wan naas
In the name of Allaah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Say: I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind,
The King (or Ruler) of Mankind,
The Allaah (for judge) of Mankind,-
From the mischief of the Whisperer (of Evil), who withdraws (after his whisper),-
(The same) who whispers into the hearts of Mankind,-
Among Jinns and among men.
