Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came back in a hurry, out of breath, with his garment pulled up to his knees, and said: 'Be of good cheer, for your Lord has opened one of the gates of heaven and is boasting of you before the angels, saying: "Look at My slaves; they have fulfilled one obligatory duty and are awaiting another."

Commentary
Staying back in the mosque awaiting the prayer is an act of great virtue.
Man's knee is not the part of body which it is unlawful to expose before others.
Allâh the Glorified, communicates such things to the angels because it was they who had remarked that man will make mischief and shed blood on the earth.
