English translation

851. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When the reciter says Āmin, then say Āmin, for the angels say Āmin, and if a person's Āmin coincides with the Āmin of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven." (Sahih)

Arabic text

851 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَمَّنَ الْقَارِئُ فَأَمِّنُوا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُؤَمِّنُ، فَمَنْ وَافَقَ تَأْمِينُهُ تَأْمِينَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»

Commentary

It means that the follower should say Āmin upon the Imām's saying it, even if he was ahead or behind the Imām in his recitation. It confirms the Imām's saying Āmin aloud, since the followers can only answer it if he hears the Imām say it.
