Answer
Hadhrat Uthmaan (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Whosoever reads Esha with Jamaat then it is as though he has stood up (made Ibaadat) for half the night and whosoever reads Fajr with Jamaat then it is as though he has read the entire night.' (Muslim; Mishkaat pg.62)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayra (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'There is no Salaat more difficult / burdensome upon the hypocrites (Munaafiqeen) than Fajr and Esha Salaats, and had they known what is in store for them, i.e. for those who read Fajr and Esha with Jamaat, then they would come even though it be crawling. (Ibid)
