Hadith question

Q: When the hadith mentions about how a person's prayer isn't accepted for 40 days if they eat or drink anything haram, does it mean their dua isn't accepted or their salaah isn't accepted for 40 days? What is "prayer" being referred to here? And whichever one it means, does this mean you're stuck with this punishment for 40 days or can this punishment be nullified if you repent from this?

A: This is with reference to the person who did not sincerely repent.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
