Is it true that a Muslim's leaving a prayer mat after prayer without sitting on it due to the presence of angels on it incurs sin? Is it permissible to sit on it after prayer to recite the Qur'an? And does doubt in this matter or believing it to be wrong constitute shirk or kufr that expels one from the fold of Islam, necessitating ghusl and uttering the Two Testimonies?
This notion is superstitious and should not be believed, for doctrines are only established by sound evidence. There is no harm in leaving the prayer rug spread out after prayer or sitting on it to recite the Qur'an. This belief is not disbelief. It is necessary to disseminate correct knowledge and warn people against such ignorances.
