Shaykh Maḥmūd Ālūsī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه explains, “It has been mentioned in narrations that at every sky that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم passed by, he led angels in two units of prayer.”^[1]

The Companion Abū SaꜤīd al-Khudrī رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates of how the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared:
