2622. ‘Abdullāh bin Shāqīq Al-Uqaylī said: “The Companions of Muḥammad ﷺ didn’t consider leaving anything to be disbelief except for Ṣalāt. (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] I heard Abū Muṣ’ab Al-Madanī say: “Whoever said: ‘Faith is merely statements’ then he should be told to repent, and he either repents or his neck should be severed.”
٢٦٢٢ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ قَالَ: «كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ » صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَرَوْنَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ تَرْكُهُ كُفْرٌ غَيْرَ الصَّلَاةِ. سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُصْعَبٍ الْمَدَنِيَّ يَقُولُ: مَنْ قَالَ: الْإِيمَانُ قَوْلٌ، يُسْتَتَابُ، فَإِنْ تَابَ وَإِلَّا ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ.

If one denies the legality and obligation of the prayer, according to the consensus of the Ummah he/she is a disbeliever; and if one believes the legality of the prayer but he does not pray merely because of slackness and negligence, he is in disbelief too. Yet this is not such a disbelief, according to the majority, due to which he/she will dwell in the Hell forever and he will not enter paradise even after bearing the chastisement; according to Imām Al-Bukhārī this is a minor disbelief as opposed to the real disbelief, i.e., it is lesser than the real disbelief due to which a person will dwell in the Hell forever.
