In the hadith of intercession, it is said: (They never did any good at all). Is this sufficient to refute the ruling of disbelief against the one who abandons prayer?

The questioner : This addition is not sufficient for argumentation. He says: Sunan Abi Dawud 5245Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) We have excluded the term, meaning the faith which is the testimony. Is it sufficient on its own to refute the ruling of disbelief against the one who abandons prayer?
The Shaykh : It is sufficient by way of the implication of generality.
The questioner : How, our Shaykh?
The ShaykhSunan Abi Dawud 5245Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani), Now, as Professor Abu Malik explained: Sunan Abi Dawud 5245Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) We have excluded.
The questioner : Yes, it is not...?
The Shaykh : Do you understand how? As for the hadith of intercession, it is an explicit text.
The questioner : Yes, in...
Another questioner : ...Sunan Abi Dawud 5245Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) ... with this explicit text, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : So it negates the exceptions.
Al-Halabi : ... Our Shaykh, here the phrase that our brother Abu Abd al-Rahman pointed toSunan Abi Dawud 5245Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani) is one of the many principles by which the people of the Sunnah argued for a general rule that answers the problem from its root: that the deeds of the limbs are not a condition for the validity of faith in its essence, but they are a condition for its perfection.
The Shaykh : The perfection of faith.
Al-Halabi : It is a condition for the perfection of faith. This is one of the evidences for that. This is the first point.
Then a second point, our Shaykh. You graciously and nobly indicated a distinction between those who do not distinguish between the one who has faith in prayer and thereby in the oneness of Allah, and the one who has denial and rejection of the oneness of worship or such. I say: This point, our Shaykh, and here is an observation of independent legal reasoning, I hope you will correct me in it.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
Al-Halabi : That it is feared that their statement of not making a distinction may be a cause for them to make prayer more important than the word of the oneness of Allah; because the word of the oneness of Allah is the foundation under which prayer is accepted, not the other way around.
The Shaykh: Perfect.
Al-Halabi : Only?
The Shaykh: May Allah give you health!
Al-Halabi: May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah who guided us, and we would not have been guided had Allah not guided us.
