Is there a hadith: (The angels pray for the right sides of the rows)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Has anything been reported, O Shaykh, that the angels pray for the right sides of the rows, and what is the wisdom behind that? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, it has been reported that the angels pray for the right sides of the rows, meaning they seek forgiveness for those standing on the right side of the row, because the right side of the row is better, as the right side is better than the left. This is what encourages a person to be on the right side of the row, unless the right side is far from the imam and the left side is close to the imam, where he can hear and see the imam; in that case, the left side is better here.
Because if the virtue conflicts, if the virtue of the place conflicts with the virtue of the worship, the virtue in the worship and the virtue in the place of worship, then the virtue of the place of worship takes precedence over the virtue of the worship itself. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, the female questioner, Umm Abdullah.
A moment to complete the answer. She means that the virtue pertaining to the worship itself is better than the virtue, or that the virtue pertaining to the worship itself takes precedence over the virtue pertaining to the place of worship. So if the left side is closer to the imam, where he can hear and see him and perfect the prayer behind him, then that is better than the distant right side. Yes.
