Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani رضي الله عنه narrates that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When a person performs ablution and, intending to pray, walks towards the mosque, the recording angel writes ten good deeds for each step he takes towards the mosque. And the one who sits waiting and preparing for the prayer is like one who is engaged in worship with humility and devotion. He is counted among the worshippers from the time he leaves his house until he returns."
