Angels record my name

1 The Angels record my name if I entered the mosque before the Imam sits (on the pulpit)
Abu Huraira ( may Allah be pleased with him ) reported that Allah's Messenger ( may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) as saying:
There is an angel on every door of the mosque recording him first who (comes) first (to the mosque for Friday prayer). And he [the Prophet] likened him to one who offers a camel as a sacrifice and then he went on in the descending order till he reached the point at which the minimum (sacrifice) is that of an egg. And when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) the sheets are folded and they (the angels) attend to the mention of Allah.

2 The Angels record my name among those who enter the mosque first
Narrated Abu Huraira ( may Allah be pleased with him ):
The Prophet ( may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ) said, "On every Friday the angels take their stand at every gate of the mosque to write the names of the people chronologically (i.e. according to the time of their arrival for the Friday prayer) and when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) they fold up their scrolls and get ready to listen to the sermon."
