Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the imam recites a verse in the loud prayer, such as
Is not Allah the most just of judges?أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ
[At-Tin 95:8]
or
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servantأَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
, is it permissible for the ma'mum to say the word “Yes,” similar to the tasbih at certain verses?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know of anything reported regarding this. What was reported is that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would seek mercy at verses of mercy and seek refuge at verses of punishment, and it is not permissible to say anything in the prayer without evidence. Yes.
