A companion narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If any one of you, after performing the prayer, remains seated at his place and continues to remember Allah, he remains in the state of prayer, and the angels keep supplicating for mercy upon him. The angels say: O Allah! Have mercy on him and forgive him. When he sits at the place of prayer waiting for the next prayer, he continues to receive the same supplication.
