Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Shaykh, what is the meaning of the statement that the angels pray for the one who is praying as long as he is in his place of prayer? And does this include the case of someone who sits in one place and then moves to another?
Answer:
Yes, if he sits waiting for the prayer, he is in his prayer, meaning he has the reward of the one who is praying, and the angels pray for him, supplicating for him: “O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, have mercy on him.” The prayer of the angels is supplication; the angels supplicate for him, and their supplication is answered. So there is virtue in waiting for the prayer. Yes.
