عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إِنَّ أَثْقَلَ صَلَاةٍ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ، وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا، وَلَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَتُقَامَ، ثُمَّ آمُرَ رَجُلًا فَيُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، ثُمَّ أَنْطَلِقَ مَعِي بِرِجَالٍ مَعَهُمْ حُزَمٌ مِنْ حَطَبٍ إِلَى قَوْمٍ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَأُحَرِّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ بُيُوتَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ».
Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: Amesema Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake-: "Hakika swala nzito zaidi kwa wanafiki ni swala ya Ishaa na swala ya Alfajiri, na lau kama wangejua (malipo) yaliyomo, basi wangeziendea hata kwa kutambaa, na nilipania niamrishe swala ikimiwe(kusimamishwa), kisha nimuamrishe mtu mmoja awasalishe watu, kisha niondoke pamoja na wanaume wakiwa wamebeba mizigo ya kuni tuelekee kwa watu ambao hawahudhurii swala, ili niwachome na moto wakiwa ndani ya majumba yao".
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: 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 have almost intended to order for the prayer to be established, and 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 upon them with fire."
Hatari ya kuchelewa swala ya pamoja msikitini.
Wanafiki hawakukusudia katika ibada zao isipokuwa kujionyesha na kutaka kusikika, hawaji katika swala ila katika wakati ambao watu wanawaona.
Malipo makubwa katika swala mbili, Ishaa na Alfajiri kwa jamaa, nakuwa swala hizo zinastahiki zaidi kuziendea hata kwa kutambaa.
Kuhifadhi swala mbili, Ishaa na Alfajiri ni sababu ya kusalimika na unafiki, na kuto kuzihudhuria ni katika sifa za wanafiki.
