SECTION ON PRAYER · 20 – THE EXCELLENCE OF SITTING IN THE MOSQUE
From Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings upon him, said: “As long as someone remains in the place where they prayed until their ablution is invalidated or they rise, the angels will supplicate [with prayers such as]: ‘O Allah, grant him forgiveness. O Allah, have mercy on him.’”
Abu Hurairah related:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “As long as one of you is prevented from the prayer (in the mosque), he is considered to be in the prayer. For it is only the prayer that prevents him from going home.”
From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “A servant remains in the state of prayer as long as he waits for prayer at his place of prayer. The angels say about him until he turns away or his ablution is broken: ‘O Allah, forgive him. O Allah, have mercy on him.’”
It was asked Abu Hurayrah: "What breaks the ablution?"
He replied: “Silent flatulence and noisy flatulence break it.”

Abū Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “A person comes to the mosque for whatever purpose, that is his portion.”
