Question:
Are there nusus which prove that any and every ibadah done on the Night of Qadr will be multiplied by 1000+ months?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
That which is often heard by scholars in explanation is all derived from the ayah:
لَيلَةُ القَدرِ خَيرٌ مِن أَلفِ شَهرٍ
The Night of Qadr is better than a thousand months.1
If one spends the whole night in worship then that is worth more than a thousand months in reward. Similarly, if someone does any other virtuous action, the reward would be like doing it for more than a thousand months2. For example, if someone gives £1 on the Night of Qadr, it is hoped that the reward will be equivalent to giving £1 every night for over a thousand months.
Only Allah knows best
