A Reminder Not to Preempt the Imam in Saying the Amen

The Shaykh : I wish to point out now an error committed by the masses of worshippers. This error involves, first, disobedience to the command of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and second, a great and very great loss, which is that the Muslim does not attain the forgiveness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). We do not worship Allah through our prayers, standing, and fasting except to attain the forgiveness of our Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He). You know, for example, His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . You all know and hear all of this, but listen now to something you rarely hear, and perhaps most of you have never had this hadith reach your ears, which I am about to place before you. It is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is among the most authentic hadiths, for it was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their "Sahih"s from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . His past sins were forgiven. By what? By a very, very easy command, and a very, very, very difficult one for one who has become accustomed to disobedience. I just prayed Maghrib in this mosque, and now Isha. I barely finish my recitation of before you preempt me with the "Ameen." Do you see, am I the imam, or are you?
