Answer:
Reward for tarawih
prayers
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
To the best of our knowledge, there is absolutely nothing
in the authentic and established Sunnah which even remotely resembles or lists
the specific rewards quoted above for each night one offers the supererogatory
‘tarawih’ prayers in Ramadan.
Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet (saws)
would encourage people to perform the special night prayers during Ramadan
(tarawih) without commanding them as obligatory and he (saws) said: "Whoever
prays during the nights of Ramadan [tarawih] with a firm belief and hoping for
reward, all of his previous sins would be forgiven."
Only Allah and His Messenger (saws) have the exclusive
right to declare what reward one will receive for what worship….if one takes
the liberty to invent a rite of worship or specify the rewards for a worship from
themselves when Allah and His Messenger (saws) have not sanctioned it, Allah is
our witness, they would be held severely accountable in the Presence of the
Lord Most Majestic on the Day of Judgment for attributing a lie to Allah and
His Messenger (saws)!
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraf verse 37:
Then, who
can be more wicked than the one who invents falsehood and attributes them to
Allah!
Sahih Muslim Hadith 7147 Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘he who
attributes any falsehood to me, he should in fact find his abode in the
Hell-Fire.’
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.

well wisher in Islam,
