797. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the Tshâ' prayer and the Fajr prayer. If only they knew what (reward) there is in them, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.'" (Sahih)
797 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَثْقَلَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ، وَصَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا»

'Ishâ' and Fajr prayers are most burdensome for the hypocrites, because they are quite demanding physically and, in order to perform them in congregation, one has to strive against oneself. Anyone who performs these prayers with fondness and punctuality, practically proves that he is free from hypocrisy. The more burdensome an act of devotion, the more reward would it fetch from Allâh provided that it does not go against the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
