The answer

The questioner clarifies that the names of the surahs and their numbers are: Surat Al-Hamd is Al-Fatihah (1), Surat Inna Fatahna is Al-Fath (48), Allahu As-Samad is Al- (112), Amma Yatasa'aloon is An-Naba (78), and the verse "There is no god but You; exalted be You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers" is in Surat Al-Anbiya (21), verse (87). He points out several matters, including: that the book "Dala'il al-Khayrat" should not be relied upon, that a translation of the Qur'an is not the Qur'an itself, that "Al-Ahad" (The One) and "As-Samad" (The Eternal, The Absolute) are among Allah's Most Beautiful Names, and that specifying a certain number of times to recite Surat Al-Ikhlas or the verse "There is no god but You; exalted be You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers" has no sound evidence. Rather, concerning the virtue of Surat Al-Ikhlas, it has been reported that it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an, and that reciting it is a cause for entering Paradise and for building a house therein. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite it before sleeping, in Witr prayer, and in (exorcism/healing). Regarding the virtue of the verse "There is no god but You; exalted be You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers," it is the supplication of Dhun-Nun, which no Muslim supplicates with except that Allah responds to him, and that it relieves distress and affliction.
