Explanation of the Hadith (When the imam says "Ameen," say "Ameen," for whoever aligns his "Ameen" with the "Ameen" of the angels is forgiven for what has passed of his sins) and the discussion on the follower's following the imam

The Shaykh : And after that, Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated in their Sahihs from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . In this hadith, there is a command regarding a legal ruling and an explanation of the reward for one who obeys this noble Prophetic command, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . The commentators of this hadith differed in explaining the meaning of this noble Prophetic command . Some held that the meaning is: when the imam begins saying "Ameen," you should begin saying "Ameen" with him; that is, they understood that the intent of the hadith is that the follower should align his "Ameen" with the "Ameen" of his imam, saying "Ameen" with the imam at the same moment. Others held that the intent is that the follower's "Ameen" should come after the imam has finished his "Ameen." And some detailed the matter in a way that has no basis, saying that whoever is close to the imam should align with him, and whoever is far from him should delay and follow up with his "Ameen" after the imam's "Ameen."
And what became clear to me after reflecting on these differing opinions regarding this authentic hadith over a long period of years is that the second opinion is stronger, which is that the follower's "Ameen" should be after the imam's "Ameen."
First, because the apparent meaning of the hadith does not indicate anything other than this, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Because the reality of this phrase "when he says Ameen" means when he says "Ameen." So interpreting it according to the opinion of those who hold the first view, "when he begins," is figurative. And it is known linguistically and legally that it is not permissible to resort to the figurative meaning unless the literal meaning is impossible and cannot be interpreted or understood. Only then is the figurative meaning allowed and the literal meaning set aside. And this condition is absent here, because it is clear that this is a command... when the imam says "Ameen," the follower says "Ameen." So it is not appropriate to interpret the text contrary to the literal meaning into the figurative, because the original is literal. This is one point.
And a second point is that his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): is on the same pattern as his saying: and on the same pattern as his saying: . All these texts indicate that what the follower is commanded to say is only after the imam has finished what he was commanded to say. So, based on this hadith, the follower should not say "Allahu Akbar" with the imam, but rather wait for the imam to finish his takbir, then he should immediately begin his takbir. Likewise, he does not bow until the imam has entered into bowing, and the follower does not prostrate until he sees that the imam has entered into prostration, despite the long distance between the imam's prostration and the follower's following of the imam in prostration, as came in Sahih Muslim from the hadith of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: . So this hadith in particular, and the previous commands in general, confirm that the Sunnah and the plan that the follower should follow with the imam in his dhikr and his recitations is not to align with him in them, but to follow him. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) confirmed this by his saying: , meaning to follow him. So your saying "Allahu Akbar" with him is not following him, but rather aligning with him. And this is for all the pillars. And finally, your saying "Ameen" with the imam is not following him, but rather aligning with him. So his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
