If anyone recites the two verses at the end of Surah al-Baqara at night, they would suffice for him 'Abd al-Rahman said: I met Abu Mas'ud and he was circumambulating the House (of Allah) and asked him about this (tradition) and he narrated it to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  

مسلم:٨٠٨aحَدَّثَنَا مِنْجَابُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ التَّمِيمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَرَأَ هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

I asked Abu Mas'ud while he was making circumambulation of the Ka'bah (about the recitation of some verses from the Qur'an). He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If anyone recited two verses from the last of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever recites these two verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah in one night, they shall suffice him: 'The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord' to the end of the Surah." 'Abdul Rahman ibn Yazid reported that he approached Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari while he was performing Tawaf (circumambulation) and asked him about this, so he narrated this Hadith to me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .

[Machine] So, I met Abu Mas'ud while he was performing Tawaf around the Ka'bah, and I said to him, "Tell me a hadith that you have heard from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ." He replied, "Yes, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The two verses from the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, whoever recites them in one night, they will be sufficient for him.' And the two verses are 'The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord.'"
