[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer, then he turned towards us and said, "Is [so and so] present?" They replied, "No." He then asked, "Is [so and so] present?" They replied, "No." He asked this about some hypocrites who did not attend the prayer. He then said, "Indeed, these two prayers are the heaviest on the hypocrites. If they knew their reward, they would have surely come to them even if they had to crawl."  

الدارمي:١٣٠٥أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟» قَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟» فَقَالُوا لَا لِنَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَمْ يَشْهَدُوا الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Fajr prayer with us, and when he finished his prayer, he turned towards us with his face and said, "Indeed, the heaviest prayers on the hypocrites are these two prayers."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Fajr prayer and then asked, "Is so-and-so present?" For a group of hypocrites who did not attend the prayer. Then he said, "Indeed, these two prayers are the heaviest prayers on the hypocrites. If they knew the reward that these prayers contain, they would have come to them, even if they had to crawl." He means the Isha prayer and the Fajr prayer.

ibnhibban:2056Abū Khalīfah > Muḥammad b. Kathīr > Shuʿbah > Abū Isḥāq > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Baṣīr > Ubay b. Kaʿb

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the dawn prayer one day. And he said: Is so and so present? They said: No. He (again) asked: Is so and so present? They replied: No. He then said: These two prayers are the ones which are most burdensome to hypocrites. If you knew what they contain (i.e. blessings), you would come to them, even though you had to crawl on your knees. The first row is like that of the angels, and if you knew the nature of its excellence, you would race to join it. A man's prayer said along with another is purer than his prayer said alone, and his prayer with two men is purer than his prayer with one, but if there are more it is more pleasing to Allah, the Almighty, the Majestic. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 554)   

ابن حبّان:٢٠٥٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَقَالَ «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا فَقَالَ «أَشَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ؟ » قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أَثْقَلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُونَ فَضْلَ مَا فِيهِمَا لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا وَإِنَّ الصَّفَّ الْأَوَّلَ لَعَلَى مِثْلِ صَفِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَضِيلَتَهُ لَابْتَدَرْتُمُوهُ وَصَلَاةُ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ أَزْكَى مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ مَعَ رَجُلٍ وَكُلَّمَا كَثُرَ فَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ»
