Question:
The questioner asks: What is the degree of authenticity of this hadith: “Whoever prays Maghrib and Isha’ in congregation on the Night of Decree has taken his share of the Night of Decree”?

Answer:
I do not know the wording of this hadith, but the Night of Decree has a great virtue. Allah the Exalted said:
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
[Al-Qadr 97:3]
. Righteous deeds in it are better than deeds in a thousand months that do not contain the Night of Decree. This includes righteous deeds, whether it is prayer or standing in prayer, and it also includes reciting the Qur’an, seeking forgiveness, and supplication. One should increase in supplication on this night, for it is a night of answered prayers, by the permission of Allah. So one should increase in righteous deeds on this night, such as prayer, supplication, seeking forgiveness, and others.
