734. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The angels send Salāh upon any one of you so long as he is in the place where he prays, and so long as he does not invalidate his ablution, (saying): 'O Allāh, forgive him, O Allāh, have mercy on him.'" (Sahīh)
733 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ الَّذِي صَلَّى فِيهِ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ "

Sitting in a mosque would obviously be for the remembrance of Allāh or waiting for the next prayer. For both situations, one should have ablution. A person without ablution is not worthy of performing the ritual prayer. That is why the angels' supplication stops; it is meritorious (to have ablution).
