The Evidence for the Number of Rak'ahs in Taraweeh

Question
What is the evidence that the Taraweeh prayer consists of twenty rak'ahs?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's success: This issue is agreed upon among the companions and those who came after them, and there is no dispute among the imams of Islam regarding it. It has become a slogan among the people of Sunnah that distinguishes them from others who have deviated from the path, and they have started calling for eight rak'ahs of prayer; because it is a sign of the innovators, and Allah knows best.
