𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓
I read in a flyer that when finishing bowing, the
imam and the one who is praying behind him should both say “Sami’a Allaahu
liman hamidah (Allaah hears the one who praises Him)” then after that those who
are praying behind the imam should say “Allaahumma Rabbana laka’l-hamd (O
Allaah, our Lord, to You be praise).” This is different from what we grew up
with, which is that the imam only should say “Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah,”
and those who are praying behind him should respond: “Allahummah Rabbana
laka’l-hamd.”
Please advise
us, may Allaah reward you.

Praise be to Allah.
Firstly: Tasmee’ (saying Sami’a Allaahu liman
hamidah) when rising from bowing and tahmeed (praising Allaah by saying
Allaahumma Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd) when standing up straight are Sunnah and are
mustahabb according to the majority of scholars. The Hanbalis are of the view
that they are obligatory, and the correct view is that they are obligatory.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on
him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (3/433): The evidence for that (i.e., that it
is obligatory) is as follows:
1 – The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) adhered to that and did not neglect to say Sami’a Allaahu liman
hamidah in all situations.
2 – It is the signal for moving from bowing to
standing.
3 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “When he says Sami’ah Allaahu liman hamidah, say Rabbana wa
laka’l-hamd.”
End quote.
Secondly: The fuqaha’ are unanimously agreed that
the person who is praying alone should say both tasmee’ and tahmeed. So he
should say Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah when he rises from bowing and when he
has stood up straight he should say Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd.
This unanimous agreement was narrated by
al-Tahhaawi in Sharh Ma’aani al-Athaar (1/240) and Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr in
al-Istidhkaar (2/178).
But in al-Mughni (1/548) there is something which
indicates that there is a difference of opinion on this matter. But they
differed as to what is prescribed for the imam and for the one praying behind
the imam.
In the case of the imam:
The Hanafis and Maalikis are of the view that he
should say tasmee’ only, and it is not Sunnah for him to say Rabbana
laka’l-hamd. The Shaafa’is and Hanbalis are of the view that the imam should
say both tasmee’ and tahmeed.
The more correct view is the latter one, because
it was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “When
the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said Sami’a
Allaahu liman hamidah, he would say Allaahumma Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (795) and Muslim (392).
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar stated that the fact that it
is mustahabb for the imam to say tahmeed may be understood from this hadeeth
and others.
See: Fath al-Baari (2/367).
In the case of the one who is praying behind the
imam:
The majority of scholars, Hanafi, Maaliki and
Hanbali, are of the view that the person praying behind the imam should limit
himself to the tahmeed only, and he should not say Sami’a Allaahu liman
hamidah.
The Shaafa’is and Zaahiris (literalists) disagreed
with them and said that it is mustahabb for the person praying behind the imam
to say both the tasmee’ and the tahmeed. This is the view favoured by
al-Albaani in Sifat al-Salaah (135). For more information on their evidence
please see the essay by al-Suyooti in al-Haawi li’l-Fataawa (1/35).
The more correct view – and Allaah knows best – is
that of the majority.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on
him) said in Liqa’ al-Baab il-Maftooh (1/320):
When the imam says Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah,
the one who is praying behind him should not say Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah,
because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The imam
is appointed to be followed, so when he says takbeer, then say takbeer, when he
bows, then bow, when he prostrates, then prostrate, and when he says Sami’a
Allaahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd.”
He said, “When he says takbeer, then say takbeer,”
and “when he says Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah, then say Rabbana wa
laka’l-hamd”.
Thus the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) differentiated between the takbeer and the tasmee’. With regard to
the takbeer, we say what he says, but with regard to the tasmee’ we do not say
what he says, because his words “when he says Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah,
then say Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd” are tantamount to saying: when he says Sami’a
Allaahu liman hamidah, do not say Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah, rather say
Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd. This is based on the context of the hadeeth in which he
says, “When he says takbeer, then say takbeer.” As for those scholars who say
that he should say Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah and Rabbana wa laka’l-hamd,
this is a weak argument. No opinion should be accepted in all cases or rejected
in all cases until it is measured against the Qur’aan and Sunnah. When we
measure it against the Sunnah we see that it is as you heard. End quote.
See: al-Mughni (1/548), al-Umm (1/136), al-Muhalla
(1/35), al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (27/93-94).
Thus it will be clear to you that there is a
difference of opinion among the scholars concerning this issue, and it is not
strange that some flyers will state the view of some of the scholars.
And Allaah knows best.
