Compiled all the parts shared so far into 1 list so that it’s easier for us to save, refer back to, and share with everyone who may benefit, bi’idhnillah.
1. Remaining in your place of prayer after performing the Salah
It is recommended to remain in your place of prayer after performing the obligatory prayer; based on the Hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The angels invoke blessings on any of you who remains in his prayer place as long as he does not invalidate his ablution, saying, ‘O Allaah, forgive him; O Allaah, have mercy on him.’” [Maalik, Al-Bukhari and others]
The angels also make dua for you if you sit waiting for the prayer.
‘Ali reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If the slave (of Allaah) prays and then sits in his place of prayer, the angels ask blessings for him saying, ‘O Allaah, forgive him. O Allaah, have mercy on him.’ And if he sits waiting for the prayer, the angels ask blessing for him saying, ‘O Allaah, forgive him. O Allaah, have mercy on him.’” [Ahmad]
