Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever abandons the prayer deliberately has openly committed disbelief."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy, except the narrator Muhammad bin Abi Dawud: I have not found anyone who has given his biography. Ibn Hibban mentioned Muhammad bin Abi Dawud al-Baghdadi in al-Thiqat, and I do not know whether this is the same person or not.
