Ibn Numayr narrated to us, my father narrated to us, al-A‘mash narrated to us — and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Kurayb narrated to us — and the wording is theirs — they said: Abu Mu‘awiyah narrated to us, from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the most burdensome prayer for the hypocrites is the night prayer (‘Isha’) and the dawn prayer (Fajr). If they knew what is in them, they would come to them even if crawling. And I was about to order the prayer to be established, then command a man to lead the people in prayer, then go with men carrying bundles of firewood to people who do not attend the prayer, and burn their houses down upon them with fire."
