Excellence Of Praying Taraweeh Plus Witr With The Imam
As-Salaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Alhamdulillah, May the peace and blessings of Allah be on Muhammad, his wives, household, companions and all those who follows his authentic Sunnah till the day of account.
Going to the subject, it is very rewarding to pray Taraweeh and witr with your Imam before leaving the mosque.

Praying Taraweeh and Witr with the Imam
It is proven from the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he encouraged praying Taraweeh in congregation and he said: “Whoever stays with the imam until he leaves, (the reward of) qiyaam al-layl will be written for him.”
Narrated and classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi (806); also narrated by Abu Dawood (1375), al-Nasaa’i (1605), and Ibn Maajah (1327). Also classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi .
This reward will not be attained by anyone but the one who prays with the imam until he has finished all the prayers. The one who only prays some of the prayer and then leaves is not entitled to the reward promised in this hadeeth, which is that of spending a night in prayer (qiyaam laylah).
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:
If a person prays in Ramadan with someone who prays twenty-three rak‘ahs, but he only prays eleven and does not complete the prayer with the imam, is this action of his in accordance with the Sunnah?
He replied: The Sunnah is to complete the prayer with the imam, even if he prays twenty-three rakahs, because the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) with the imam until he finishes, Allah will record for him (the reward of) spending a night in prayer.” According to another report: “… The rest of that night.”
It is better for one who is praying behind an imam to stay with him until he finishes, whether he prays eleven rak‘ahs or thirteen or twenty three or whatever. That is preferable, to follow the imam until he finishes. End quote from Majmoo‘ Fataawa Ibn Baaz, 11/325.
May Allah accept all our acts of worship in Ramadan & beyond and may He grant us the best of gift in Jannah!
And Allah knows best
