Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this statement of Allah Almighty: "Those who are heedless of their prayers." He said: "They are those who delay the prayer beyond its proper time."
Al-Bazzar and Abu Ya'la recorded it as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet), and also recorded it as mawquf (stopping at the Companion). Its chain contains a narrator, Ikrimah bin Ibrahim, whom Ibn Hibban and others declared da'if (weak). Al-Bazzar said: The huffaz (hadith masters) recorded it as mawquf; no one other than this narrator recorded it as marfu'.
