Answer

Assalaamu alaykum

1. . Salatul Awwabeen(Nafl prayers of Maghrib)

After the Farz and Sunnat of Magrib, performance of the minimum of 6 to a maximum of 20 rakaats is called Salatul Awwabeen.

Awwaabeen is the six Rakaats of Salaat after the Maghrib Salaat. It is established from the Hadith.

Rasulullah [sallallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] mentioned, "Whoever performs 6 Rakaats after Maghrib Salaat will earn the reward of 12 years of Nafl Ibaadah." (Tirmidhi)

2. There is a weak Hadith that whoever recites Surah Mumtahinah, all the mu'min males and females with intercede on his/her behalf of the day of Qiyaamah.

However, the mere fact that it is a surah of the Qur'aan, does not require any added virtue.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
