باب في تَارِكِ الصَّلاَةِ:
Chapter: On abandoning the prayer
Hadith 1267
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: أَوْ قَالَ جَابِرٌ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَبَيْنَ الشِّرْكِ وَبَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ إِلَّا تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ" . قَالَ لِي أَبُو مُحَمَّد: الْعَبْدُ إِذَا تَرَكَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عُذْرٍ وَعِلَّةٍ، وَلَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُقَالَ: بِهِ كُفْرٌ وَلَمْ يَصِفْ بِالْكُفْرِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is nothing between a servant and shirk or disbelief except abandoning the prayer." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever abandons the prayer without excuse or reason, it will be said about him that there is disbelief with him, and it will not be said that he has become a disbeliever.
