Mu`adh (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me as a governor to
Yemen and (at the time of departure) he instructed me thus: "
You will go to people of the Scripture (i.e., the Jews
and the Christians). First of all invite them to testify that La ilaha ill Allah (There is no true god except Allah) and
that Muhammad (PBUH) is His slave and Messenger; and if they accept this, then tell them that Allah has enjoined
upon them five Salat (prayers) during the day and night; and if they accept it, then tell them that Allah has made the
payment of Zakat obligatory upon them. It should be collected from their rich and distributed among their poor; and
if they agree to it, don't take (as a share of Zakat) the best of their properties. Beware of the supplications of the
oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith has already been mentioned and is repeated here to emphasize the importance of
obligations and their meticulous performance. See Hadith No. 290.

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Between a man and
disbelief and paganism is the abandonment of Salat (prayer)
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
He who will be having the quality of Islam and will be particular in performing Salat regularly, will
raise a wall between himself and Kufr. He who does not perform Salat after coming to the fold of Islam, does not
have a frontier which separates him from infidelity. Leaving Salat is like demolishing the wall that separates Islam
from Kufr. Thus, we learn from this Hadith that leaving Salat is Kufr. Some `Ulama' are of the opinion that this
injunction is for one who believes leaving Salat is permissible whereas the one who leaves it because of slackness is
not Kafir. Some scholars, however, think that if such a person does not repent, he is liable to Hadd, i.e., death
punishment. There are other `Ulama' who think that rather than death punishment such a person should be subjected
to corporal punishment till he starts offering Salat. This Hadith makes the importance of Salat in Islam abundantly
clear.

Buraidah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
That which
differentiates us from the disbelievers and hypocrites is our performance of Salat. He who abandons it, becomes a
disbelieve

[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
The purport of this Hadith is the same as that of the preceding one.

Shaqiq bin `Abdullah reported:
The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) did not consider the
abandonment of any action as disbelief except neglecting Salat
.
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
The opinion of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) was based on the information contained in
the Ahadith which have been mentioned above. They did not take the Ahadith which interpreted the leaving of Salat
as Kufr mere scolding or reproof. They considered slackness and negligence in Salat as Kufr and apostasy and
regarded Salat a symbol of Islam.
