Answer:

The verses of refuge from Surah Falaq and Surah Nas.

Explanarion:

Narrated ‘Ayesha (RA): Whenever the Prophet (SAW) went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting the verse of 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 al-Bukhari, 5017, In Book 66, Hadith 39].

Ibn Al-Qayyim who really highlights the power of Surah Naas and Falaq states, “the effectiveness of these surahs is great to repel magic, evil eye, and the rest of the evils and the need for a slave to seek Allah’s protection from these two surahs is greater than his need for self, eating, drinking, and wearing dress” (Al-Fawwaid, 2/426).

The Prophet (SAW) revealed in one Sahih hadith that “Allah has revealed to me Ayaath the likes of which have not been seen". The hadith continues on to mention that the Prophet [SAW] advised “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind…” (Surah An-Nas) until the end. “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of Al-Falaq…” until the end of the Surat.

Together these two surahs are very powerful that it’s been given a special name called “Al mu’awwidhatayn” (Arabic: المعوذتان) meaning “the verses of refuge”. 

We seek refuge to the Lord of Dawn and the Lord of humankind from : 

■ the evil ofwhatever He has created;

■ the evil of the lurking whisperer, who whispers into the hearts of humankind, from among jinn and humankind;

■ the evil of those witches casting spells by blowing onto knots;

■ the evil of an envier when they envy;
