Is it permissible to pray behind an imam who, when rising from the bowing, says only "Hear Allah"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying behind an imam who, when rising from the bowing, says only "Hear Allah"?

Answer:
Perhaps you are not hearing the rest of his words; perhaps he says "to those who praise Him" but lowers his voice. Verify this with him. If he limits himself to "Hear Allah," that is not sufficient, because "Hear Allah for those who praise Him" is an obligatory part of the prayer. He must say it in full. Alert him to this. Yes.
