٢٦١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «بَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْإِيمَانِ تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ».

Commentary
Ṣalāt (prayer) is such a symbol and fundamental deed of religion and it is connected with the reality of Īmān to such a depth that a Muslim who abandons it enters the fold of disbelief. So the prayer is a deed that makes a distinction between disbelief and Īmān, and he who abandons the prayer goes out of the fold of Īmān.
