Surah al-Ma'un ayah 5

Arabic text

Alladhina hum an salatihim sahun

...who are heedless in their prayer

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:

Next, Allah offers a practical illustration of what is meant above: "Woe to those who pray, but are heedless of their prayers." These verses contain Allah's invocation against, or a threat of destruction to those who offer prayers but are careless about them.
