The ruling on the follower saying: "We seek help from Allah," when the imam says: "And You alone we ask for help"

Question:
The follower saying, when he hears the imam say: [al-Fatihah:5], "We seek help from Allah"?

Answer:
There is no report of this [al-Fatihah:5]. The follower listens; he does not say "We seek help from Allah," but rather he listens when he says: [al-Fatihah:5]. The imam likewise continues; we do not know that anything of this was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Rather, the imam continues reciting: [al-Fatihah:5] to the end, and the follower listens and does not say anything at that point.

Question: The hadith that he did not pass a verse of mercy without asking Allah?

Answer: This is the known practice, which was in his tahajjud at night, and he did not do it in the obligatory prayers. I do not know of it except in his tahajjud at night, and it is not recorded that he did it in the obligatory prayers—(peace and blessings be upon him).
