The answer

Reciting the last two verses of Surat Al-Baqarah should be done at night. Among the meanings of "they will suffice him" is that they will suffice him from performing the night vigil ( al-Layl) or from (extra) Quran recitation. Alternatively, they will suffice him against all evil and the wickedness of devils among jinn and humans. The supplication, "A‘udhu bi kalimatillahit-tammah" (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah), is to be recited upon entering any place, and it is also recited in the morning and evening. Similarly, the supplication, "Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma‘as-mihi shai'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i" (In the Name of Allah, with Whose Name nothing on earth or in the heavens can cause harm), is to be recited three times in the morning and evening.
