Riyad as-Salihin, 1072
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If they knew the merits of Salat after nightfall ('Isha') and the morning (Fajr) Salat, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b> This is part of a long Hadith which has already been mentioned. See Hadith No. 1033.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
ولو يعلمون ما في العتمة والصبح لأتوهما ولو حبوًا
((متفق عليه)). وقد سبق بطوله.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) A person’s ignorance of the great reward and his weak willpower make him neglect worship and acts of piety.<br>
2) True faith within a person’s heart prompts him to endure difficulty in worship. Regular performance of the Fajr and ‘Ishā’ prayers in congregation is a sign of true and sincere faith.
