Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. The prayer was established in the mosque, so I prayed with the congregation. The imam said the takbir for prostration, and during the prostration, the imam raised his voice saying: "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). I thought he had said the takbir to stand up, so I stood up alone, before the imam. What is the ruling in this case?
The Shaykh : This is a man who is praying with the imam. He heard the imam's voice and thought he had risen from prostration, so he stood up. Then it became clear that the imam was still in prostration. We say: prostrate, go back and prostrate with the imam, then follow the imam thereafter. However, the imam should not raise his voice with what causes confusion, except for some verses occasionally in the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers. As for the dhikr: "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" and "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great), he should not recite them loudly so as to disturb the people. Yes.
