Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, is it prescribed for the ma'mum to say "Hear Allah from those who praise Him" when the imam says "Hear Allah"? The hadith is general: "Pray as you have seen me praying."

Answer:
Some scholars said this, but the more correct view is that it is sufficient to say "Our Lord, to You is praise." He said it is not counted, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When he says "Hear Allah," say "Our Lord, to You is praise." It is not required of him to say "Hear Allah."فإذا قال سمع الله فقولوا ربنا ولك الحمد، ما عليه أن يسمع الله
When you hear it, say it. When the imam says "Hear Allah from those who praise Him," the one who is commanded to say is "Our Lord, to You is praise" or "O Allah, our Lord, to You is praise."
