A woman came to prophet Musa and said, "I committed a grave sin. Please pray to Allah that he forgives me."

Prophet Musa: "What did you do?"

Woman: "I committed fornication and later gave birth to a boy whom I killed."

Prophet Musa: "Go away from here you wicked woman, lest a fire from hell destroy us all because of your sin!"

The woman left broken-hearted. Then angel jibrail descended and asked, "O Musa, why have you turned away a repentant woman? Have you not found anyone worse than her?"

Prophet Musa: "Who can be worse than her?"

Angel Jibrail: "The one who abandons Salah intentionally and persistently."

[Al-Kaba'ir, Adh-Dhahabi, Book of Missing Salah]

SubkhanAllah we all start talking when we hear something like the situation of the women but we all miss our prayers and don't see the severity of it.
