657. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “No Ṣalāt (prayer) is more heavy (harder) for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the ‘Ishā’ prayers and if they knew the reward for these Ṣalāt, at their respective times, they would certainly present themselves (in the mosques) even if they had to crawl.” The Prophet ﷺ added, “Certainly I intended or planned or was about to order the Mu’adh-dhīn (call-maker) to pronounce Iqāma and order a man to lead the Ṣalāt and then take a fire flame (burning torch) to burn all those men (along with their houses) who had not yet left their houses for the Ṣalāt (in the mosques).”

657 - حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَيْسَ صَلاَةٌ أَثْقَلَ عَلَى المُنَافِقِينَ مِنَ الفَجْرِ وَالعِشَاءِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ المُؤَذِّنَ، فَيُقِيمَ، ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ آخُذَ شُعَلًا مِنْ نَارٍ، فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَى مَنْ لاَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدُ»
