The answer

Among the verses that are beneficial in nullifying magic is what Ibn Abi Hatim and Abu Al-Sheikh narrated from Layth ibn Abi Sulaym, that it reached him that reciting certain verses into water which is then poured over the head of the bewitched person provides healing from magic, by Allah's permission. These verses are from Surat Yunus: (فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَى مَا جِئْتُمْ بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ) "And when they had cast, Moses said, "What you have brought is magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters." And Allah establishes the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it." And the verses from Surat Al-A'raf: (فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ... بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ) "So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing. So they were overcome at that place and returned humbled... by the Lord of the worlds." And the verse from Surat Taha: (إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى) "What they have produced is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he goes."

Ibn Battal mentioned in the book of Wahb ibn Munabbih that seven green leaves of sidr (lote tree) should be taken, crushed between two stones, then mixed with water. Ayat al-Kursy and the Mu'awwidhat (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad, Qul A'udhu bi Rabb al-Falaq, Qul A'udhu bi Rabb an-Nas) should be recited into it. Then, three sips of the water should be drunk, and the rest used for bathing.

As for Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir, he mentioned that the most beneficial remedy for dispelling magic is the two Mu'awwidhat, citing the : "Nothing like them has been used for seeking refuge."
