The hadeeth, “Whoever neglects prayer, Allaah will send fifteen punishments upon him, six in this world, three when he is dying, three in the grave and three when he emerges form the grave…” is a fabricated (mawdoo’) hadeeth which is falsely attributed to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).

This is one of the fabricated ahaadeeth that are falsely attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as was stated by the scholars (may Allaah have mercy on him) such as al-Haafiz al-Dhahabi in Lisaan al-Meezaan, and al-Haafiz ibn Hajar and others.

Well, al-Dhahabi himself writes a very similar (if not exactly the same) hadith in his book on Kabair (great sins), in the section on "Neglecting Salah." One difference I could see is, the hadith in this book mentions fourteen punishments (five punishments in this world instead of six, and then three when he is dying, three in the grave and three when he emerges form the grave). He does not say it is authentic; but he included it in his book anyway. In this section he is trying to explain how great a sin it is to neglect salah.
