Sunan Ibn Majah 1080 (Book 5, Hadith 278) #30432
The Danger of Leaving Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned that leaving prayer can lead to polytheism.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet said: "There is nothing standing between a person and Shirk (polytheism) except leaving the prayer, so if he leaves it he has committed Shirk".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَالشِّرْكِ إِلاَّ تَرْكُ الصَّلاَةِ، فَإِذَا تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us about the danger of leaving prayer, which is a form of worship in Islam. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik, who was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. According to this hadith, if someone leaves their prayer then they are committing shirk or polytheism. This means that they are associating partners with Allah and worshipping something other than Him. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to be consistent in their prayers and not leave them as it could lead them astray from the right path.

The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that prayer is an important part of our faith and should not be taken lightly or neglected as it can have serious consequences on our spiritual wellbeing. He reminded us that we must remain steadfast in our prayers so that we do not fall into shirk or any other form of disbelief which would take us away from Allah’s mercy and guidance.
