Surah Al-Kafirun

Surah Kafirun is the 109th chapter of the Holy Quran, consisting of 6 ayats. It is equal to one-quarter of the Qur’an. The Muslim who recites this Surah before going to bed stays protected from Shaitaan and safe from Shirk.

With reference to Jami At-Tirmizi Hadith 3403

Farwah bin Nawfal (RA) narrated that:

He came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that I may say when I go to my bed.” So he said: “Recite: Say: ‘O you disbelievers’ for verily it is a disavowal of Shirk.”

Surah Al-Ikhlas

Surah Ikhlas is the 112th chapter of the Holy Quran, and its English meaning is “Purity.” It consists of 5 ayats, equivalent to one-third of the Quran. Reciting Surah Ikhlas has numerous benefits, such as forgiveness of sins, attaining the love of Allah (SWT), protection against every kind of affliction and calamity, and many more…
With the reference of  Sahih al-Bukhari 5015

Narrated by Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one-third of the Quran 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 Quran.”
