The Virtue of Waiting for the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: What does it mean that the angels pray for the worshippers as long as they are in their place of prayer? And does this include those whom Allah has blessed by arriving early to the mosque?
Answer:
Yes. The one who sits in the mosque waiting for the prayer, there is prayer in that, and the angels seek forgiveness for him as long as he is waiting for the prayer. So waiting for the prayer after the prayer is a form of staying in the mosque (ribat), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And this has a great reward. If he sits waiting for the prayer, or if he prays the current prayer and then sits waiting for the next prayer, he is in prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us. Yes.
