Is al-Shuja' al-Aqrab specific to the one who abandons zakah, or does it include the one who abandons prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: Is al-Shuja' al-Aqrab, which came regarding the one who withholds zakah, also mentioned for the one who abandons prayer, or is it specific to the punishment of the one who abandons zakah? I hope for clarification? The one who abandons prayer

The Shaykh : has a punishment greater than this, because al-Shuja' al-Aqrab is only for the one who abandons zakah, who is tormented by it in the plains of the Day of Resurrection, and then he sees his path, as came in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah
to Paradise or to Hellإما إلى الجنة وإما إلى النار،
Sunan Abi Dawud 1658Sahih (Al-Albani)
But the one who abandons prayer is tormented in the Fire of Hell with what is in it of types of torment, forever and ever, and refuge is sought in Allah, so it is much greater than the one who abandons zakah.
