Just an attempt at understanding the reward of a simple sunnah in Ramadhan.

According the a hadith the reward of salah with siwaak is 70 greater than the salah without siwaak.
One shafi’ scholar mentions in his kitaab that from this hadith we could gather that salah with siwaak is greater than salah in jamaat since salah in jamaat is 10-25 greater than salah alone.

Lets think of just two rakaats of taraaweeh.

Firstly the reward of a sunnah in ramadhan is compared to that of a fardh.
Do that salah with siwaak (x70) = 70 fardh
That salah is in jamaat (x17.5 , the average of 10 & 25)= 1225

Now you going to do 10 sets =12250
Lets say this happens on laylatul qader= x1000 months X30 day per month= 367 500 000 fardh.

That is by adding one sunnah of siwaak to each of the 10 sets made for taraweeh. Why don’t you just buy one & start doing this.

SubhanAllah

for the reminder. I would like to mention also that in the Hanafi madhab the reward for salah with siwak applies when the siwak is used during wudu, therefore every salah performed with that wudu you will earn 70 times more reward! So you don't have to use the siwak before each set of salah to get the reward, so mashaAllah us Hanafis have no excuse not to really.
