Question

Please provide me the references of this hadith: "The reward of Salaah (Prayers) is multiplied 70 times if Miswaak was used before it."

Answer

The Hadith pertaining to the virtue of miswaak appears in Musnad-e-Ahmad and Baihaqi's sunan-e-kubra. This Hadith has been transmitted through several chains, hence strengthening it.
