Sahih al-Bukhari 659
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْمَلاَئِكَةُ تُصَلِّي عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلاَّهُ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ. لاَ يَزَالُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا دَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ تَحْبِسُهُ، لاَ يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ ".

‘Abdullah bin Maslama narrated to us, from Malik, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A‘raj, from Abu Huraira, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The angels continue to invoke blessings for one of you as long as he remains in his prayer place and has not invalidated his ablution, saying, “O Allah, forgive him; O Allah, have mercy on him.” One of you remains in prayer as long as the prayer keeps him there and the only thing preventing him from returning to his family is the prayer.’
