1078 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَبَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ»

Commentary
Prayer is one of the basic pillars of Islam, and has always been an enjoined duty in the Shari'ah of all the Prophets. Many scholars hold the view that a non-performer of prayer is a Kāfir (disbeliever) while some others say that a person who leaves prayer because of his insolence is not a Kāfir, but even they consider a person Kāfir if he denies the very fact of the obligation of prayer.
