Riyad as-Salihin, 1073
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "No Salat is more burdensome to the hypocrites than the Fajr (dawn) prayer and the 'Isha' (night) prayer; and if they knew their merits, they would come to them even if they had to crawl to do so." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
ليس صلاة أثقل على المنافقين من صلاة الفجر والعشاء ولو يعلمون ما فيهما لأتوهما ولو حبوًا
((متفق عليه)).

<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.
