The Shaykh : Wait, what is its evidence? The nobility of the type of the deed. The proof is on the claimant. You are now claiming that the nobility of the type of the deed, that the deed varies according to its type.

The Shaykh : Yes, perfect, well done. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Aisha meaning your hardship. And it also came regarding the days of patience, the days of patience when people are in a state of estrangement from the religion, , why? Because of the hardship of the deed. Because when the religion is in a state of estrangement and the doers are few, the doer finds more hardship than if all people were practicing the religion. So the stranger among people who upholds his religion undoubtedly finds it difficult to implement the religion, and for this reason his reward is multiplied.
