Although the general guidance of Allah and His Messenger (saws) was to recite the Glorious Quran from its start to its finish in addition to what one recites in their daily prayers.there are indeed some verses or small Surahs of the Glorious Quran which the Messenger of Allah (saws) guided and encouraged the believers to recite on a daily basis:
The 112th Surah Al-Ikhlaas
The 113th Surah Al-Falaq
The 114th Surah An-Naas
The Aayat ul-Kursi Verse 255 of Surah 2 Al-Baqarah
The verses 285 and 286 of Surah 2 Al-Baqarah
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2173 Narrated by Jubayr ibn Nufayr
Allah’s Messenger (saws) said, “Allah finished Surah al-Baqarah with two verses (285 and 286) which I have been given from His Treasure which is under the Throne; so learn them and teach them to your womenfolk, for they are a blessing, a means of an approach (to Allah) and a supplication.”
Abu Umamah reported that the Prophet (saws) said, “.For whoever recites the Aayat ul Kursi (Surah 2 al-Baqarah 255) at the end of every prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except that (he must) die (first).”

Abu Sa’id reported that the Prophet (saws) asked, “Can anyone of you recite a third of the Qur’an during the night?” The companions considered this rather difficult and they said, “Who among us can do so, O Messenger of Allah (saws)?” Thereupon the Prophet (saws) said, “(Say:) He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is he begotten; and there is none like unto Him.” (The reference here is to the recitation of Surah 112 Suratul Ikhlaas of the Qur’an, which the Prophet (saws) described as equivalent to reciting one-third of the Qur’an.)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.536A Narrated by Aisha
Whenever the Prophet (saws) retired to bed every night, he (saws) used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting Surah Al-Ikhlaas, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas, 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 (saws) used to do that three times.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
