Chapter: Kufr for Those Who Leave Salaat

-A'mash narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters, with this change of words that he (the Satan) said:
I disobeyed and I am doomed to Hell.

-It is narrated on the authority of Jabir that he heard the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) saying. Verily between man and between polytheism and unbelief is the negligence of prayer.

Explanation
-There is 'Ijmaa on the Kufr of a person who denies the obligation of the Salaat. 

-The majority say if a person leaves Salat out of laziness he is still a Muslim but is told to repent.
'Ali bin Abi Taalib, Ahmad and others said that leaving off one Salaat out of laziness or negligence takes one out of Islaam. 
The Hanafis say he is still a Muslim but must be scorned.

The first view is supported by an-Nawawi.

-Kufr is more general than Shirk as Shirk has a specific object of worship but Kufr is of types (such as arrogance, turning away, negligence, hypocrisy, doubt etc.).

-The Hanafis use the Hadeeth of Iblees to suggest that Sujood at-Tilaawah is Wajib, but the majority say a command (Amr) can be recommended (Nadb) and the statements of Iblees can't be used as proof.

Sharh Muslim (2/80-83)

And Allah Knows best
