Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "When the Imam says «ولا الضالين» and the 'Ameen' of the people of the earth coincides with the 'Ameen' of the inhabitants of the heavens, Allah forgives all the previous sins of the servant. And the example of the person who does not say 'Ameen' is like that of a man who went on a journey of jihad with some people, and they drew lots. Their share came out before his share, so he said: Why did my share not come out? He was told: You did not say 'Ameen'." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was the practice of the Imam that when he said «ولا الضالين» , he would say 'Ameen' in a loud voice.
