Reading aid. It does not establish correct recitation.
Occasion and source context
The morning/evening instruction is in Abu Dawud 5082. Bukhari 5017 separately describes reciting these three surahs, blowing into the hands and wiping the body before sleep. These are distinct source contexts; the page does not turn optional recall into a prescribed routine.
Repetition in the sources
Abu Dawud 5082 describes three recitations in the morning and evening. Bukhari 5017 describes the three-surah bedtime practice three times.
Optional recall practice adds no prescribed repetitions.
