The answer

Salat al-Tasabih (the Prayer of Glorifications): Scholars have differed on the authenticity of its hadith. Whoever considers it authentic acts upon it, and whoever considers it weak should not criticize those who differ with him.

Salat al-Tawbah (the Prayer of Repentance): Sound hadiths have been narrated concerning it, indicating its legitimacy.

Salat Laylat al-Nisf min Sha'ban (Prayer on the Night of Mid-Sha'ban): Nothing has been authentically established regarding it. Verifying scholars consider it a reprehensible innovation.

The "Fiery Prayer" (Salat al-Nariyah), or the "Prayer of Supplication" (Salat al-Inabah), or the "Prayer of Nearness" (Salat al-Qurbah): These have not been mentioned in the Sunnah and are considered newly invented innovations.
