The great sin of the one who misses the 'Asr prayer
He صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
“Whoever misses the `Asr prayer (intentionally), then it is as if he has lost his family and wealth.”
Meaning: as if his family and wealth has been robbed, which is is a very serious matter. How would the condition of a person be who leaves his house and when he comes back he can not find his family nor his wealth?! That would be a huge calamity. And in it is a big threat for the one who misses the time of 'Asr deliberately until it's time has gone by, thus if he leaves it off completely and does not pray it, he disbelieves. Like in the hadeeth:
"Whoever leaves the `Asr (afternoon) prayer (intentionally) will have all his (good) deeds annulled''.
And that is not only specific for the 'Asr prayer but rather for all of the prayers. However, the 'Asr prayer has been mentioned more due to it's special status and due to it being more neglected because it is towards the end of the day and in a time where people usually relax.

(إثم من فاتته العصر)
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: (الذي تفوته صلاة العصر فكأنما وتر أهله وماله)
يعني كأنما سلب أهله وماله وهذا أمر عظيم؛ ما حال إنسان خرج من بيته ثم رجع فلم يجد في بيته أهلا ولا مالا؟! تكون المصيبة عظيمة، وفيه الوعيد الشديد على من فوت العصر عن وقتها باختياره حتى خرج الوقت، فإن تركها بالكلية ولم يصلها كفر
كما في الحديث (من ترك صلاة العصر حبط عمله) وليس هذا خاصا بصلاة العصر بل الصلوات كلها كذلك؛ لكن صلاة العصر خصت بالمزيد لشرفها، ولكون التساهل يقع فيها أكثر؛ لكونها في آخر النهار وفي وقت الراحة
من كتاب [منحة الملك الجليل شرح صحيح محمد بن إسماعيل ] ص 66
