Are twenty rak‘as of tarawih established by a marfu‘ hadith?

Question

Are twenty rak‘as of tarawih established from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as marfu‘ (traced back to the Prophet ﷺ), or not?

Answer

Does the word “tarawih” occur in any authentic (sahih) hadith? And what is the definition of a marfu‘ hadith? Whatever you write, write it on the basis of an authentic saying of the Master of the world ﷺ.
