Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the authenticity of the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that “the reward is only according to the degree of hardship,” or is it in the meaning of the hadith? I have heard speech on this, and there is consideration in it. In any case, if the reward is great with great effort.

Answer:
The great reward is with the sincerity of the heart. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date.اتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2552Sahih (Darussalam)
half a date with sincerity, and when in need, when in need. The woman who came to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asking for something, poor, with two daughters, so Aisha gave her three dates.
She gave her three dates, so she gave each daughter a date; the mother gave each daughter a date and raised the third to eat it, so the two daughters asked for it, so she split it between them and did not eat anything. She mentioned that to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: “Allah has made Paradise obligatory for her for this date.” So the point is sincerity to Allah, even if the deed is small. Yes.
