It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The ‘Isha and Fajr prayers are the heaviest upon the hypocrites, and if they knew how much reward and merit there is in them, they would surely come, even if they had to crawl on their buttocks. I intended to order the muezzin to call the adhan, then order a man to lead the people in prayer, and I myself would go with some men carrying bundles of burning wood towards those who stayed behind from the prayer, and then burn their houses with fire.
