English Translation
It was said to Abdullah: 'Allah mentions prayer frequently: "Those who are constant in their prayer" and "Those who guard their prayers."' Abdullah said: 'That is about praying at their proper times.' We said: 'We thought it was about abandoning them.' He said: 'Abandoning them is disbelief.'
