Are the hadiths: "Know, O Bilal, know that whoever revives a Sunnah of mine that has been abandoned after me will have a reward like that of those who act upon it, without diminishing their rewards in the slightest. And whoever innovates a misguiding innovation that Allah and His Messenger are not pleased with, will bear a burden of sin like that of those who act upon it, without diminishing the burdens of the people in the slightest," and "Whoever adheres to my Sunnah during the corruption of my Ummah will have the reward of one hundred martyrs," authentic, and does the second hadith mean that whoever revives only one Sunnah will receive the reward?
