Hadhrat Jaabir bin Abdullah (Radhiyallaho anho)narrates that he heard the Prophet of Allah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)saying:
1."To discard salaat is to be linked with Kufr."
2."To discard salaat is to be linked with Kufr and Shirk."
3."Discarding of salaat is the only partition between Imaan and Kufr."
The are a number of ahaadith on the subject.On one occasion, the Holy Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)is reported to have said: "Hurry up with your salaat when it is cloudy (lest you should err and miss the correct time),for to discard salaat is become a Kaafir."What a stern warning against even missing the correct time of salaat, as (according to this quotation) to miss the correct time of salaat is to discard it. Although, according to the interpretation of the Ulama,the verdict of Kufr is given against a person only when he rejects (and not simply neglects)salaat,yet the words of the Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) occurring in these ahaadith should be very weighty for those who have any regard for him.It may, however, be noted that some of the very important companions of the Prophet(Sallallaho alaihe wasallam)like Umar.Abdullah bin Mas'ood.Abdullah bin Abbas (Radhiyallaho anhum),etc,and eminent jurists like Ahmad bin Hanbal,Ishaaq bin Raahwayh.Ibn Mubaarak,(Rahmatullah alaihim),etc,are definitely of the opinion that verdict of Kufr cam be given against the person who intentionally discards his salaat.May Allah save us!
