1010 - (ق) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَالَ: (لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي النِّدَاءِ [1] وَالصَّفِّ الأَوَّلِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَسْتَهِمُوا عَلَيْهِ [2] لاَسْتَهَمُوا، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي التَّهْجِيرِ [3] لاَسْتَبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَلَـوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِي العَتَمَةِ [4] وَالصُّبْحِ، لأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْواً ).
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the ‘Ishā and Fajr prayers. If they were to know the virtue of them, they would come to them even if they had to crawl. I sometimes thought of ordering for the prayer to be commenced, and I would appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, and then I would go, along with some men having bundles of firewood, to the people who are not attending the prayer and burn their houses with fire upon them."
قـال تـعـالـى: {وَإِذَا نَادَيْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ اتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوًا}. [المائدة:58]
