ubaadah bin saamit (may allah be pleased with him) narrates. 'my- d-ear friend the prophet (pbuh) while enjoining upon me seven good practices said, "do not ascribe anything as partner to allah, though you may be cut into pieces or burnt alive or crucified; do not forego salaat intentionally, lest you should get out of the fold of islam; do not perpetrate disobedience of allah, lest you deserve his wrath; and do not take to drinking, for that is the mother of all evils',”

in another hadith, abu darda (may allah be pleased with him) says, "my dear prophet warned me saying, 'do not ascribe anything as partner unto allah, though you may be cut into pieces or burnt alive or crucified; do not discard salaat intentionally, as .allah is free from any obligation to a person who knowingly neglects salaat; and do not take wine, for that is the key to all vices."
