Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I bear witness to Allah that I love you for the sake of Allah, and I ask Him to gather us and you in His abode of honor. The question is: What is the authenticity of the hadith, to the effect that ifSunan Ibn Majah 852Sahih (Darussalam)? And what is its meaning, may Allah protect you?
Answer:
We say: May Allah love you as you have loved us, and we ask Allah to make the love pure for His noble Face. As for the hadith that was reported, which states that if he says[Al-Fatihah 1:7] then say “Ameen,” this is a command from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the ma’mum (those praying behind the imam) to say “Ameen.” The meaning of “Ameen” is “O Allah, accept it.” And if their “Ameen” coincides with the “Ameen” of the angels, he is forgiven for what has passed of his sins. This is because when the Muslims come to pray, and the imam recites the loud recitation of Surat al-Fatihah, and then reaches the saying of [Al-Fatihah 1:7] and says “Ameen,” and the ma’mum say “Ameen,” the people of the heavens hear it, so the angels say “Ameen” with them. This indicates a great virtue. So whoever’s “Ameen” coincides with the “Ameen” of the angels is forgiven for what has passed of his sins. This is from the favor and mercy of Allah.

if a person’s Amin coincides with the Amin of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven.
