The questioner : He says: Is it valid to cite the hadith of Abu — may Allah be pleased with him — regarding the imam not correcting the follower if he makes a mistake in a specific place.
The Shaykh : Pardon me, does he mean the follower correcting the imam?
The questioner : Regarding the imam not correcting the follower.
The Shaykh : It is likely a slip of the pen. This is from the inversion that occurs in some hadiths; it is inverted! He means the follower correcting the imam; he means opening the way for the imam.

Another questioner : Absent!
The Shaykh : Still absent!

The answer is: If the recitation that the imam recited is from the established recitations of the Messenger — peace and blessings be upon him — then naturally, he does not open the way for him. But if it is a slip of the tongue or a mistake, he opens the way for him, and ... this is what we see, and Allah knows best.
