The Obligation of the Angels and Filling the Gaps in the Rows

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the angels (peace be upon them) obligated in the same way as humans, given that they fill the gaps in the prayer, and on Friday, when the imam enters, they come to listen to the sermon?

Answer:
The angels of this world and the angels of the next world. We are commanded to straighten the rows and close the gaps, and we do not know that the angels follow us in this world. We are commanded to stand close together, close the gaps, and tighten the chests.
Will you not form your rows as the angels form their rows before their Lord?ألا تصفون كما تصف الملائكة عند ربها
Sunan Ibn Majah 992
? They said, “What does he say?” He said, “Write the first row as the first.”
