Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَ
عْمَشُ الْمَعْنَى عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا وَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ فَيُؤَذِّنَ ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بِرِجَالٍ مَعَهُمْ حُزُمُ الْحَطَبِ إِلَى قَوْمٍ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ

English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, he said: al-A'mash narrated to us — and Ibn Numayr said: al-A'mash informed us, with the same meaning — from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The heaviest prayers for the hypocrites are 'Isha and Fajr. If they knew what reward is in them, they would come to them even if crawling. I have been tempted to order the mu'adhdhin to give the adhan, then to order a man to lead the people in prayer, and then to go with men carrying bundles of firewood to the people who are absent from prayer and burn their houses with fire."
