(90) بَابُ فَضْلِ تَأْمِينِ الْمَأْمُومِ
90| Virtue of the follower saying "Ameen"
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 1583 — 90| Virtue of the follower saying "Ameen"
إِذَا أَمَّنَ إِمَامُهُ رَجَاءَ مَغْفِرَةِ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا وَافَقَ تَأْمِينُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ مَعَ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ الْجَهْرَ بِالتَّأْمِينِ إِذَا جَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ لِيُسْمِعَ الْمَأْمُومَ تَأْمِينَهُ، إِذْ غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَأْمُومَ بِالتَّأْمِينِ إِذَا أَمَّنَ إِمَامُهُ، وَلَا سَبِيلَ لَهُ إِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ تَأْمِينِ الْإِمَامِ إِذَا أَخْفَى الْإِمَامُ التَّأْمِينَ.
When the imam says "Ameen," the believer hopes for forgiveness of his past sins if his saying "Ameen" coincides with that of the angels, with evidence that the imam is required to say "Ameen" aloud when he recites aloud, so that the follower may hear his "Ameen." For it is not permissible for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to command the follower to say "Ameen" when his imam says "Ameen," while there is no way for him to know the imam's "Ameen" if the imam conceals it.
نا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّدَفِيُّ ، نا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا أَمَّنَ الإِمَامُ فَأَمِّنُوا ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ تَأْمِينُهُ تَأْمِينَ الْمَلائِكَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ "
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When the Imam says Ameen, you should also say Ameen. Thus, whoever's Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels, his previous sins are forgiven."
