Do the angels seek forgiveness for the worshiper who keeps the dust of prostration on his forehead until he removes it?

The aforementioned hadith (definition) is weak and unsound because it contains mendacious and abandoned narrators. Scholars have differed regarding Makhul's hearing from Wathilah ibn al-Asqa'; some affirmed it, while others denied it. However, wiping dust from the forehead during prayer is disliked by scholars based on other evidence, including the Prophet's action of prostrating in water and mud until its traces appeared on his forehead, Ibn Mas'ud's statement that excessive wiping of the forehead before finishing prayer is uncouth, and the consensus of the Salaf on the dislike of this action.
