Chapter 20 Chapter: The mention of 'Isha' and 'Atama and whoever took the two names as one and the same
Chapter introduction Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most difficult and the hardest Salat (prayers) for the hypocrites are the Isha' (prayer) and the Fajr (prayer)." He added, "Had they known what is (the reward of) the Atama ('Isha') and the Fajr (prayers) they would have come to attend them even if they had to crawl."
Few discussions about Maghrib, 'Atama i.e. 'Isha', which are merely repetition of the topic of this chapter, are mentioned here in the Arabic text.
Abu Abdullah (Bukhari) said: It is better that one should call it Isha because of the words of Allah, the Most High: “…and after the Isha prayer” (the Quran, 24:58). It has been related of Abu Musa that he said: We used to take turns to be with the Prophet ﷺ at Isha prayer and he would say it late. Ibn Abbas and Aishah said: The Prophet ﷺ delayed the Isha prayer. Some reported from Aishah that the Prophet ﷺ delayed the Atamah prayer. Jabir said: The Prophet ﷺ used to say the Isha prayer. Abu Barzah said: The Prophet ﷺ used to delay the Isha prayer. Anas said: The Prophet ﷺ delayed the late Isha prayer. Ibn Umar, Abu Ayyub and Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ said the Maghrib and the Isha prayers.
