Does the virtue of sitting in the prayer area after the salam, for which great benefits have been mentioned and that it is a cause for the forgiveness of sins, pertain specifically to prayer in the mosque, or does it include prayer in any place where prayer is permissible? Does it include both obligatory and supererogatory prayers? And is there a greater reward for prolonging the sitting with remembrance (dhikr)?

Sitting for remembrance (dhikr) after prayer is a good deed with immense reward. If it is done in the mosque, it has additional merit. As for the sitting that has texts mentioning its virtue, it is sitting in the mosque awaiting the prayer. And whoever sits in their home or any other place for remembrance, they will have the reward of those who remember Allah.
