The first question of Fatwa number ( 18845 )
Q 1: I go to the mosque early on Friday, but I do work in the mosque in the courtyard and the storage room, and I do not enter my place until after 3 or 4 hours. Does the hadith apply to me or not? Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Salih as-Sammani from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If someone does ghusl for major ritual impurity on the day of jumua and then goes in the first part of the time, it is as if he had offered up a camel. If he goes in the second part of the time, it is as if he had offered up a cow. If he goes in the third part of the time, it is as if he had offered up a horned ram. If he goes in the fourth part of the time, it is as if he had offered up a hen. If he goes in the fifth part of the time, it is as if he had offered up an egg. And when the imam comes out, the angels settle down listening to the dhikr (remembrance of Allah)."
من راح في الساعة الأولى فكأنما قرب بدنة
Muwatta Malik 5:1
....
A 1: You receive reward in proportion to the time you sit in the mosque waiting for the prayer; for what came in the hadith

That the Muslim is in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer, and that the angels seek forgiveness for him

أن المسلم يكون في صلاة ما دام ينتظر الصلاة، وأن الملائكة تستغفر له

. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
