Concerning the Imaam, the Shaykh - Muhammad ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated:

?During the Jumu'ah khutbah, the Shaykh mentioned the excellence of reciting Soorah al-Faatihah before sleeping, and encouraged (everyone) to recite it.

After the khutbah, one of the students of knowledge reminded the Shaykh, saying:
?O Shaykh, you probably meant the excellence of Aayatul-Kursee?
The Shaykh then realised he had unintentionally made a mistake, so he corrected his mistake immediately before the congregation left, warning them a mistake had been made in the khutbah and that which is correct is reciting Aayatul-Kursee before sleeping.?

al-Jaami? li-Hayaat al-?Allaamah Muhammed ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen ? Page 43

SubhaanAllaah! How excellent is the example of the Shaykh who when reminded of the error he committed, spared no time in correcting it in front of everyone in the congregation. This is Alhamdulillaah an example and proof  for all the du'aat  and tullaab and other than them of the common folk that they should correct & recant their eroneous statement openly if it was stated openly (to a congregation).

Said shaykh-ul-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah, ?Whoever deviates from the Madhhab and Tafseer of the Sahaabah and Tabi?een to that which opposes it then he has erred in that rather (he has) innovated."
