An-Nas
Surat an-Nas (Mankind) is the 114th and last sura of the Qur'an. It is a brief 6-verse invocation, asking God for protection from Satan. It is a Makkan sura.
It and Surat al-Falaq are together termed the mu'awwidhatayn; dealing with roughly the same theme, they form a natural pair. There is a sunna tradition of reading it over the sick or before sleeping.
Its text, in Pickthall's translation, is as follows:
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
