Commentary
To make it easy and light for the Ummah to increase the reward and compensation, Allāh chose this method that He prescribed fifty prayers, and gradually decreased them to five in order to make the practice easy; but kept them equal to fifty in reward and compensation to show the certainty that the minimum reward for every good deed is ten fold.
