The authenticity of the hadith regarding the virtue of praying with a miswak

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, what is the authenticity of the hadith about praying with a miswak
better than a thousand Salatخير من ألف صلاة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 325Sahih (Darussalam)
without a miswak.

Answer:
The scholars have stated that it is not authentic that praying with a miswak
better than a thousand Salatخير من ألف صلاة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 325Sahih (Darussalam)
They said this is not authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, there is no doubt that the miswak has great virtue; it is recommended and emphasized, and it is among the confirmed sunnahs. But to say that praying with a miswak is better than a hundred or a thousand prayers requires valid evidence.
