Question:
The well-known hadith regarding al-Hajar is in agreement with this, for if he prohibited entering the land of punishment, does that include prayer and other things?

Yes, it is in agreement with what is in the land of Babylon. In the land of Babylon, prayer was prohibited, but in the land of al-Hajar, prayer was not prohibited; rather, entering it was prohibited. And entering includes praying in it, a fortiori. So if one enters it to pray in it, that is more severe. Yes.
