Answer

Regarding reading Surah Yaseen in the morning:

[عن عطاء بن أبي رباح:] بلغَني أنَّ رسولَ اللَّهِ - ﷺ - قالَ: مَن قرأَ يس في صدرِ النَّهار قُضِيَت حوائجُهُ

Translation: Ataa Ibn Abi Rabah narrates, “It has reached me that the Prophet (SAW) said, ‘Whoever reads Surah Yaseen at the beginning of the day, his necessities will be fulfilled.’” (Sunan Darimi: Hadith 3461)

Regarding reading Surah Al-Waqiah in the night:

عن ابن مسعود قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:" من قرأ سورة الواقعة في كل ليلة لم تصبه فاقة أبدا" وكان ابن مسعود يأمر بناته يقرأن بها كل ليلة

Translation: Ibn Masood (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (SAW) said, “Whoever reads Surah Al-Waqiah every night, he will not be afflicted by poverty.” Ibn Masood (RA) would command his daughters to read it (Surah Al-Waqiah) every night. (Shuabul Iman: Hadith 2269)
