It is sunnah to recite Surahs "Qul Yā Ayyuhal-Kāfirūn" (Say, O disbelievers) and "Qul Huwallāhu Aḥad" (Say, He is Allah, the One) in the two rak'ahs of the Fajr prayer that precede the obligatory prayer, and in the two rak'ahs that follow the Maghrib prayer. This has been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, through multiple chains of narration, and also from companions such as Ibn Umar, Ibn Mas'ud, and Aisha, may Allah be pleased with them.
