The Excellence of waiting for As-Salat (The Prayer)
Abu Hurairah (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "Everyone among you will be deemed to be occupied in Salaat (prayer) constantly so long as Salaat (the prayer) detains him (from worldly concerns), and nothing prevents him from returning to his family but Salaat.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
This Hadith tells us the merits of waiting for Salaat. As long as a person sits in mosque waiting for Salaat, all his time is reckoned as being in the state of Salaat and so eligible for the same reward.
Abu Hurairah (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) 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 Allaah! Forgive him, O Allaah! Have mercy on him.'''
[Al-Bukhari]
This Hadith has inducement for sitting in the place where one has performed Salaat, provided one keeps his Wudu' intact, when a person does so, angels pray Allaah to forgive him and have mercy upon him.
Anas (May Allaah be pleased with him) reported: Once the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) delayed the night prayer (`Isha') till midnight. He (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) turned to us after Salat (prayer) and said, "The people slept after performing their Salat, but you who waited, will be accounted as engaged in Salat throughout the period of your waiting.''
[Al-Bukhari]
We learn from this Hadith that it is an act of merit and reward to sit and wait for the Imam and the Jama`ah (congregation) and one who does so will be treated as one who is engaged in Salaat. We also learn from this Hadith that if a person performs Salaat when its time is due, it is quite fair, although in that case he will not get the reward of waiting for the Imam and the Jama`ah.
