What happened is not mockery that expels one from the faith. The nature of disbelief-inducing mockery has been clarified in No. 109383. We warn against obsessive whispering (waswasah) in this matter, as it leads to great evil. Your friend should be advised about the necessity of humility (khushu') in prayer and performing it properly, and that it is not a competition.
