Does the multiplied reward for fifty Companions at the End of Time mean that one ختمة (recitation of the entire Quran) equals fifty ختمات, that sponsoring a widow equals sponsoring fifty widows, and that one Qirat becomes one hundred Qirats?

The hadith was narrated with similar contexts by eight Companions, and Al-Albani authenticated it based on the totality of its narrations. Scholars have two approaches regarding it: the approach of specification, meaning that it refers to deeds that are difficult to perform in the End Times, and the approach of generalization, meaning that all deeds are multiplied in times of patience. Whatever is said about the virtue of good deeds in the End Times, and the multiplication of reward for the doer in days of patience; no scholar has ever stated that the people of the End Times are superior to the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for they are absolutely the best generations of the Ummah.
