The Authenticity of the Hadiths on the Days of Patience and Worship in Times of Turmoil and Their Application to Our Time

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith regarding the end times, concerning days called the Days of Patience, where the one who holds on and the reward of the worker in them is like the reward of fifty? They asked him, or us, O Messenger of Allah? He said: From you. What is the authenticity of the hadith that worship in times of turmoil is like migration to me? And do these hadiths apply to our time?

Answer:
The hadiths are authentic. As time progresses, trials and evils increase without doubt. It is obligatory for the Muslim to ask Allah for well-being, to stay away from trials and evils, and to be wary of them. The Messenger did not inform us of this except so that we would be wary of them and avoid them. This is a well-known matter.
As for the later person who holds fast to his religion, his reward is like that of fifty Companions, but he is not like the Companions in every respect. The Companions are the best of the nation, but he is better than them in this one thing only.
Because the Companions were with the Messenger, and they had the Ansar with them, whereas this later person in the end times has no Ansar and no helpers. Yet he remains patient in his religion, so he attains this virtue for this reason only. As for the Companions, they have noble deeds and many causes [of merit] that no one can equal, so it is not said that he is absolutely better than the Companions. Rather, he is better only in this one thing: patience and holding fast to his religion despite the absence of Ansar, the scarcity of helpers, and the multitude of enemies. Yes.
