Q: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Say, ıAmenı when the Imam says, ıAmenı, for if anyoneıs utterance of ıAmenı coincides with that of the angels, he will be forgiven his past sins But, one finds people today neglecting this Sunnah even in Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah). Please, elaborate on this matter and what do you say to Imams of Masjids (mosques) who are obliged to direct people to this rite of worship?
A: First, the mentioned Hadith is recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim in their Two Sahih (authentic) Books of Hadith in the wording: Say, ıAmenı, when the Imam says, ıAmenı, for if anyoneıs utterance of ıAmenı coincides with that of the angels, he will be forgiven his past sins.
Second, the majority of scholars held the opinion that the Maımum (a person being led by an Imam in Prayer) is to say ıAmenı with the Imam. They explain the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the Hadith: Say, ıAmenı, when the Imam says, ıAmenı with that when the Imam is going to say ıAmenı. This is substantiated by what is authentically reported in the Two Sahih on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When the Imam says,(Surah Al-Fatihah, 1: 7) "not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray", say, ıAmenı for the Angels say, ıAmenı and the Imam says, ıAmenı; if anyoneıs utterance of ıAmenı coincides with that of the angels, he will be forgiven his past sins.
