The ruling on listening to the imam when he recites in prayer

Our brother is also asking, saying: I am a young man of twenty-eight years old, and I am—praise be to Allah—consistent in performing the prayers in congregation. However, I also desire much information. For example: I ask you, when the imam recites al-Fatihah and then recites a long surah, in those moments, should I ask Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for some supplication, or should I recite, or should I listen?
Answer: It is obligatory to listen; due to the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He): [Al-A'raf: 204] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): except for al-Fatihah, which he recites, whether the imam paused or did not pause, he recites it. If the imam pauses, he recites it during the pauses. If the imam continues reciting, he recites it and then listens; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): We said: Yes. He said: So he recites it quietly and then listens to his imam. Yes.
