The Hadith: "He remains in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer." Does this mean the specific place where he prayed, or the entire mosque?

The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Is the intention the specific place itself, or is the matter broader, encompassing the mosque and the prayer area?
The Shaykh : It appears that it is broader, meaning whether he is in the specific place where he prayed or in the entire mosque. However, if it is possible for him not to leave the place where he first prayed, that is better.
And he remains in prayer as long as he is in the place where he prayed, provided he does not do anything else.
ولا يزال في صلاة ما دام في مكانه الذي صلى فيه ما لم يحدثThe Shaykh : It appears that it is broader, meaning whether he is in the specific place where he prayed or in the entire mosque. However, if it is possible for him not to leave the place where he first prayed, that is better.
