A person neglecting his salaat shall remain in Hell for a period of how long?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamo Alikum In Fazail-e-Amaal I read the following Hadith; “The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is reported to have said, “A person neglecting his salaat (even though he makes it up later) shall remain in Hell for a period of one Haqb. A Haqb is equal to eighty years of three hundred and sixty days each, and a day in the Hereafter shall equal one thousand years of this world.” The reference given is of a book MAJALIS-E-ABRAAR NOW my question is whether this Hadith is Sahih or not. If it is Sahih then please give the reference of its original source. If its otherwise then, Is there any other Sahih Hadith that tells about the punishment for the one who misses the Salah and then even offers it as Qadha. Of there is no sahih Hadith regarding the subject then is it right to narrate it. Hope I made my point clear. ALLAH will surely reward you for the help. Anxiously waiting for the answer.
