1139. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Salâm said: "I said, when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was sitting: 'We find in the Book of Allâh that on Friday there is an hour when no believing slave performs prayer and asks Allâh for anything at that time, but Allâh will fulfill his need.''" 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ pointed to me, saying: 'Or some part of an hour.' I said: 'You are right, or some part of an hour.' I said: 'What time is that?' He said: 'It is the last hours of the day.' I said: 'It is not the time of the prayer?' He said: 'Yes. (it is so), when a believing slave performs prayer and then sits with nothing but the prayer keeping him, he is still in a state of prayer.''" (Hasan)

Commentary
We learn from the Hadith, that the last hours of the day is also the time when Allāh answers the prayers of His servants.
The word 'hour' means indeterminate period of time. The words 'or some part of the hour' indicate that the duration would be very short.
Sitting in mosque with no worldly concerns after the prayer is a meritorious act, provided that idle talks are avoided, and the time is spent in deeds like the remembrance of Allāh and the recitation of the Qur'ān.
