Does it appear in the Hadith that performing Salah in Masjidun Nabawi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) is rewarded 50,000 times?
Answer:
Sayyiduna Anas (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘…and Salah in my Masjid is fifty thousand times better than in other Masjids…’
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 1413 with a weak chain. Also see: Misbahuz Zujajah, Hadith: 504 and Targhib, vol.2 pg.215)
Note: Other authentic versions state the reward in Masjid Nabawi to be a thousand times better.
(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith:1190)
This will not be considered as a contradiction,
ولا مفهوم للعدد٫ فلذا لا يعتبر مخالفا
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
