*Some hadeeth on the topic authenticated by the Shaikh and Imam of Hadeeth, Muhammad Nasir ad-Deen Al-Albanee (may Allah have mercy upon him):*
🔸 *Ibn Mājah has a heading:*
“Chapter: _When the imām recites, listen silently.”_ Then he narrated the following ahādeeth:
▪️ *إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الإِمَامُ لِيُؤْتَمَّ بِهِ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ فَأَنْصِتُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ {غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ} فَقُولُوا آمِينَ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ . فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَاسْجُدُوا وَإِذَا صَلَّى جَالِسًا فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعِينَ*
Abu Hurairah narrated that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: *_“The imām has been appointed to be followed, so when he says Allahu Akbar, say Allahu Akbar, when he recites, listen silently. When he says: غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّين ‘Not the way of those who earned Your anger, nor of those who went astray’, then say Āmeen. When he bows, you bow. When he says, سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ‘Allah hears those who praise Him’, say, اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ‘O Allah, our Lord, to You is the praise’. When he prostrates with the sajdah, prostrate. And if he prays sitting, all of you pray sitting [with him].”_* (Ibn Mājah 846; See Al-Irwā’ 344, Al-Mishkāt 857. Al-Albānee: hasan-saheeh)
▪️ *عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِأَصْحَابِهِ صَلاَةً نَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الصُّبْحُ فَقَالَ ” هَلْ قَرَأَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ” . قَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا . قَالَ ” إِنِّي أَقُولُ مَا لِي أُنَازَعُ الْقُرْآنَ*
Ibn Ukaimah said: _“I heard Abu Hurairah say: ‘The Prophet (ﷺ) led his Companions in a prayer; we think it was Fajr. The Messenger said: “Did anyone among you recite?” A man said: “I did.”_ So the Messenger said: *_“I was saying to myself: what is wrong that someone is pulling away the Qur’ān from me?”_*
(Ibn Mājah 848; Saheeh Abee Dawood 781; See Al-Mishkāt 855. Al-Albānee declared it to be saheeh)
▪️ *عَنِ ابْنِ أُكَيْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَسَكَتُوا بَعْدُ فِيمَا جَهَرَ فِيهِ الإِمَامُ*
And Abu Hurairah mentioned a similar report, and added to it, *_“And after that they were quiet in the prayers in which the imām recites aloud.”_* (Ibn Mājah, 849. Al-Albānee declared it to be saheeh).
▪️ *عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ “ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ إِمَامٌ فَإِنَّ قِرَاءَةَ الإِمَامِ لَهُ قِرَاءَةٌ*
Jābir narrated that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: *_“Whoever has an imām [leading him in prayer] then the recitation of the imām is his recitation [also].”_* (Narrated from Jābir and reported by Ahmad 14698; Ibn Mājah 850; Al-Bayhaqee in his Sunan 2898 – and Al-Albānee declared it to be hasan (good) in his checking of Ibn Mājah, and Al-Irwā’, 850)
