Perhaps by your question, you mean the two long surahs. It is reported in Sunan Abi Dawud and others that Zayd ibn Thabit said to Marwan ibn al-Hakam that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to recite in Maghrib the two long surahs, which are: Al-A'raf, and the other is Al-An'am. As for Ibn Abi Mulayka, he said they are: Al-Ma'idah and Al-A'raf. There is no surah mentioned by the name "sister of the two long ones."
