What is the ruling on combining the tasmi' and the tahmid when rising from ruku' behind the imam, and is it prescribed for the imam to say "Ameen" after reciting al-Fatihah?

The Shaykh : Since I have not had the opportunity for a meeting like this, it seems to me that I have some thoughts inspired by this reality. The speech is heavy and full of complexities. He (peace be upon him) said in the hadith: Now, some people apply this hadith literally. When the imam says "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him," they say "Our Lord, to You is the praise." Is this correct? We say it is not correct, but rather it is an error. This is equivalent to another issue where a sound hadith like this came, namely his saying (peace be upon him): Some scholars of the Maliki school do not consider it part of the Sunnah for the imam to say "Ameen," relying on this last hadith. When the imam reads "not those who have earned Your anger, nor those who have gone astray," it says "then say Ameen." It does not say "and the imam said Ameen, so say Ameen." So they took from this hadith that the imam does not say "Ameen." This hadith is similar to that one. It is not permissible to rely on a single hadith in a single issue; rather, one must gather the various aspects of the hadiths, just as we did regarding the issue of the right hand. How did the right hand issue change? When we came upon the addition of "he asked for rain," the subject changed completely. Similarly, in these two issues. Does this hadith mean that the follower does not say "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him"? The answer is no, and yes. How? We say if only this hadith had come in this issue, we would say yes, that is the meaning, i.e., if the imam says "not those who have earned Your anger, nor those who have gone astray," the followers say "Ameen." But another hadith came that clarified that there is also an "Ameen" for the imam, not just for the followers. That is his explicit saying (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) which does not need explanation or clarification, which is: Not from our own pockets or our own minds, but from our Prophet's second hadith. So the imam says "Ameen." And so it is with the issue of "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him." He said in the hadith: The apparent meaning of this is that the follower does not say "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him." But the practical Sunnah indicates, in addition to this Sunnah, his saying (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) as a general principle and general rule: If that is the case, how was the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)? He combined, as you know, the tasmi' and the tahmid. This is one point. And when he combined them, he led them. And you did not learn the manner of his prayer (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) except from his leading them. So he said to them: Do you think No one understands this speech. If that is the case, then we say: if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) used to say: combining them, then every worshipper must combine them, just as we combined the "Ameen" with the imam for the second hadith. Similarly, we combine the tasmi' and the tahmid for these two hadiths. The first hadith is from his action (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and it is in the two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): The second hadith: And whoever neglects the Sunnah of tasmi' and limits himself to the Sunnah of tahmid falls into another contradiction, which is: the tahmid. This is a point I hope you will pay attention to. The tahmid is the Sunnah of the transition and straightening up from ruku' to standing. The tasmi' is the Sunnah of standing. The tahmid: the worshipper says it while raising his head from ruku' while still in ruku', saying "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him." He straightens up and says "Our Lord, to You is the praise." What do people do today? The imam barely raises his head from ruku' saying "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him," and they say "Our Lord, to You is the praise" or "Our Lord, to You is the praise." They moved the tahmid to the place of the tasmi' and the tasmi' to the place of the tahmid. This is a mix-up. The tasmi' "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him" is in the process of raising the head from ruku'. So if one of them wants to follow the Messenger exactly, he raises his head from ruku' saying "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him," stands up and does nothing. And the opposite is the opposite. So it is obligatory that we combine the tasmi' and the tahmid and place each in the position the Messenger (peace be upon him) placed it. When we raise our heads from ruku', we say "Allahu has heard the one who praises Him," and while standing, "Our Lord, to You is the praise," whether one is an imam, a follower, or praying alone. And now, proceed with your questions.
