Summary
The first hadith in the chapter on waiting for prayer and walking to it. Yahya transmits from Malik from Abu al-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayra (may God be pleased with him): the Prophet ﷺ told that the angels pray for the worshipper, asking for forgiveness and mercy, as long as he remains in the place where he prayed, as long as he does not break his ablution. Malik says he takes breaking as only what nullifies ablution. The editor explains the angels' prayer as asking for mercy and supplication, and cites al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, al-Nasa'i, Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi, and refers to al-Tamhid. 1 2
