The ruling on the hadith: "One who is negligent in prayer is punished with forty punishments"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. This is Abu Ahmad, a Sudanese resident abroad, asking a series of questions. The first question says: What is the authenticity of this hadith: "One who is negligent in prayer is punished with forty punishments"? I read it in one of the publications.
Answer:
This publication is invalid and has no basis. It has been pointed out that abandoning prayer is a major crime; it is disbelief in Allah the Exalted, because prayer is the second pillar of the pillars of Islam. As for specifying the punishments and the number of punishments, that requires valid evidence. What is mentioned about being punished with forty punishments, some in this world, some in the grave, and some on the Day of Resurrection, all of this is a lie.
