حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا فِي الْعِشَاءِ وَصَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ مِنْ الْفَضْلِ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ لَأَتَوْهُمَا وَلَوْ حَبْوًا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ الْبَزَّارُ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ الْعَيْزَارِ بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أُبَيٌّ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ رَأَى مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ قِلَّةً فَقَالَ شَاهِدٌ فُلَانٌ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ حَتَّى عَدَّ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ أَثْقَلُ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِينَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ.
English Translation
Shayban narrated to us: Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us: al-Hajjaj ibn Artah narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq al-Hamdani, from Abdullah ibn Abi Basir, from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If people knew what merit there is in the night prayer and the morning prayer performed in congregation, they would come to them even if they had to crawl." Abdullah narrated to us: Khalaf ibn Hisham al-Bazzar and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, he said: Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Ayzar ibn Hurayth, from Abu Basir, who said: Ubayy said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, led us in the dawn prayer, and when he finished the prayer he saw that the people of the mosque were few, so he said: "Is so-and-so present?" We said "yes," until he counted three men. Then he said: "There is no prayer heavier upon the hypocrites than the night prayer and the dawn prayer" -- and he related the hadith at length.
