Is he who consistently prays Fajr and Isha with the congregation absolved of hypocrisy?
It is mentioned in a narrated by Al-Bayhaqi that whoever prays Fajr (Dawn) and Isha (Night) prayers for forty nights in congregation, two immunities will be written for him: immunity from the Fire and immunity from hypocrisy. The chain of narration for this hadith is acceptable. Al-Tirmidhi also narrated a hadith, which Al-Albani graded as (good), stating that whoever prays to Allah for forty days in congregation, catching the first takbir, two immunities will be written for him: immunity from the Fire and immunity from hypocrisy.
Immunity from hypocrisy means that a person is safeguarded in this world from the deeds of hypocrites, and is guided to perform the actions of the sincere, and in the Hereafter, he is protected from what afflicts hypocrites. Moreover, the Fajr and Isha prayers are the heaviest prayers for hypocrites, and consistently performing them in congregation is a sign of a person's distance from hypocrisy. It has also been authentically established regarding the virtue of these two prayers that whoever prays them in congregation is as if he has spent the entire night in prayer.
