English translation

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The angels supplicate in favour of one of you so long as he remains in the place where he has performed Salat (prayer) in a state of Wudu'. They (the angels) say: 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! Have mercy on him."' <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) They point out the merit of waiting for the next prayer after offering the present one. This falls under the Ribāt (stationing) for goodness. Indeed, waiting for an act of worship is in itself worship.<br> 2) They give glad tidings that the angels invoke Allah’s forgiveness and mercy upon the one who prays and sits in the place where he has prayed while in a state of ablution. This is out of Allah’s mercy towards the believers.<br> What a pity on those who deprive themselves of the ways of goodness and rewards!<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br> “Makes Hadath”: to commit a sin or to break his ablution.
