Are these mentioned benefits for everyone who recites Surahs Al-Waqi'ah, Al-Mulk, and Yasin, and prays twelve supererogatory rak'ahs and two rak'ahs in the depths of the night, and glorifies Allah one hundred times, authentically reported from the Prophet, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him?
There is no harm in a Muslim setting daily recitations (awrad) for themselves to consistently observe, provided they are authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. However, one should not definitively assert that sins will be forgiven, or poverty averted, or a house built in Paradise, but rather say: "It is hoped for him." The statement, "Allah descends to you," is incorrect, as Allah descends for all worshippers in the last third of the night.
The hadith about the virtue of reciting Surat Al-Waqi'ah is weak, while the hadith about the virtue of reciting Surat Al-Mulk is authentic. None of the hadiths regarding the virtue of reciting Surat Yasin are authentic.
Maintaining twelve rak'ahs of supererogatory prayers (nawafil) daily is sound and established, and they are: four rak'ahs before Dhuhr and two after it, two rak'ahs after Maghrib and two after Isha, and two rak'ahs before Fajr prayer.
Praying two rak'ahs in the middle of the night falls under the general encouragement to pray during the depths of the night.
Regarding the virtue of "Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and with His praise)": whoever says it, a date palm will be planted for them in Paradise; and whoever says it one hundred times, their sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea. It is among the most beloved words to Allah.
