Hadeeth: “Two rak’ahs with siwaak are better than seventy rak’ahs without siwaak”

What is the meaning of the hadeeth: "Two rak'ahs with siwaak are
better than seventy rak'ahs without siwaak"?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Siwaak is Sunnah, and is an act of worship when done at the time of
prayeror when doing wudoo', because the Messenger (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: "Siwaak is purifying for the mouth and
pleasing tothe Lord." Narrated by al-Nasaa'i with a saheeh isnaad from
'Aa'ishah (mayAllaah be pleased with her). And because he (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Were it not that it would be
too difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the
siwaak at every prayer." Saheeh – agreed upon. According to another
version: "Were it not that it would be too difficult for my ummah, I
would have commanded them to use the siwaak at at every wudoo'."
Narrated by Imam al-Nasaa'i with a saheeh isnaad.
With regard to the hadeeth "Two rak'ahs with siwaak are better than
seventy rak'ahs without siwaak", it is a da'eef (weak) hadeeth, and is

Allaah. End quote.

Al-Bayhaqi said concerningit in al-Sunan al-Kubra (1/38): (It is)
da'eef and its isnaad is not strong. It wasnarrated in both marfoo'
and mursal reports. End quote.
Ibn al-Qayyim said in al-Manaar al-Muneef (p. 17): Its isnaad is not strong.
And Allaah knows best.
