What is the ruling on saying "Ameen" to the supplication on Friday, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the preacher citing the sources of hadith on Friday?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the supplication behind the imam on Friday, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and citing hadiths and mentioning surahs on the pulpit?
The Shaykh : What do you mean by citing hadiths?
The questioner : I mean, for example, mentioning that a hadith was narrated by Muslim, or narrated by al-Bukhari.
The Shaykh : What is wrong with that?
The questioner : I mean, is it permissible, for example, to state the hadith directly without citing its source?
The Shaykh : No, I told you: what is wrong with saying, "The Messenger of Allah said such and such, and al-Bukhari narrated it"? That is knowledge.
The questioner : It was reported from some people thatThe Shaykh : Nasser said: Citing hadiths on the pulpit is not part of the preacher's jurisprudence. They asked: What is the reason? He said: If the one praying is a student of knowledge, he knows the hadith that was cited. And if he is from the common people who do not know, it does not harm him whether he knows the narrator or not.
The Shaykh : It might be Nasser, not al-Albani, may Allah know best. (laughs)The Shaykh : And I requested them, may Allah have mercy on them—I do not see this in my dreams.
The questioner : All right, regarding saying "Ameen" behind the preacher.
The Shaykh : On the contrary, I will say something. A quarter of a century ago, all the preachers—as the so-called Nasser says—used to mention the hadith and that was it, whether it was authentic or weak; it was not their concern at all. But among the good things of this era, which falls under what is called today the "awakening," is that some preachers—may all preachers do so—do not mention a hadith without saying, "Al-Bukhari narrated it" or "Muslim narrated it." Why? Because the iron and steel hammers continued to be brought down on the heads of the preachers: "O people, fear Allah! O people, you see the hadiths of the Messenger (peace be upon him) on the pulpit, some of which are weak and some fabricated, some are authentic but the true and the false have been mixed, and so on. So be careful!" After much effort and a long sleep, they began to say now, "Al-Bukhari narrated it," to reassure the hearts of the listeners and to teach them. We say, may Allah reward them with good, if they say this.
The questioner : Saying "Ameen" during the supplication while the preacher is delivering the sermon.
The Shaykh : This is what al-Albani says: This is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes, and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to send blessings or speak or send blessings upon the Messenger,As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 7:78.
The questioner : And does it include supplication?
The Shaykh: Everything.
The Shaykh : What do you mean by citing hadiths?

If you say to your companion on Friday while the imam is delivering the sermon, "Be quiet," you have spoken in vain.
