Sahih Muslim 649k (Book 5, Hadith 344) #8655
Waiting for Prayer is Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that those who wait in a place of worship for prayer are considered to be in prayer and their ablution is not broken.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Anyone amongst you who sat in a place of worship waiting for the prayer is in prayer and his ablution is not broken, the angels invoke blessing upon him (in these words): O Allah! pardon him. O Allah! have mercy upon him.
حَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْمُرَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ هُرْمُزَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا قَعَدَ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلاَةَ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait patiently at places where you pray; maintain your state purity; seek forgiveness from Allah through prayers; prepare yourself before engaging into any acts or worships; invoke blessings upon yourself while waiting for prayers.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, taught us that when we wait in a place of worship for prayer, it is considered to be an act of worship and our ablution remains intact. This means that even if we are waiting for the prayer to start, we should still maintain our state of purity and cleanliness as if we were already praying. Furthermore, the angels invoke blessings upon us while we are waiting in this state. They ask Allah to forgive us and have mercy on us. This hadith teaches us the importance of being prepared before engaging in any act of worship so that our prayers can be accepted by Allah.
