Other Angel's

There are other angels ho pray for the believers to be guided on the right path, and for those who attend the congregational Salah in masjid ( mosques ) and for those who stand in the first line in such Salah.

Attending Circles of Dthikr 
( Dthikr, glorifying Allah by reciting all formulas of His praise: reading, reciting Qur'anic ayaat, and expressing gratitude to Him, and supplicating Him with obedience and eagerness.)

The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention, said:
  There are angels of Allah who roam the earth seeking dthikr circles. When they find one, in which people are remembering Allah, they call each other, 'Come. Here is what you are looking for!' The Prophet, may Allah exalt his mention mention, said, ' They surround the attendants with their wings on top of each other, until they reach the lowest heaven ( signifying their large number).
( Saheeh al-Bukhari & Saheeh Muslim)

There are also angels who record the names of those who attend Jum'ah SalahThe stand,according to the authentic hadeeth, on each door of the masjid, recording the names according to the time of attendants' arrival. Once the Iman sits down they fold up their records, That is, they do not take names after that.
( This does not mean that those who enter a mosque after the Iman stands on the pulpit are deprived of the reward for attending the Jum'ah Salat, rather, they would not be given the reward of those who arrived before them. Allah knows best.)
