Abu Kurayb Muhammad ibn al-Ala narrated to us: Zayd ibn Hubab narrated to us: Malik ibn Anas narrated to me: al-Zuhri narrated to us, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab and Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, who said: When the imam says Amen, say Amen. Whoever’s saying of Amen coincides with the angels’ saying of Amen will have his past sins forgiven.

Abu Isa said: The hadith of Abu Hurayrah is hasan sahih.
