bowing, then he would say while standing: "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" (2). It is narrated from Abu Sa'id and Ibn Abi Awfa, [reported by Muslim] (3), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say, when he raised his head: "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd, mil'a al-sama'i wa mil'a al-ardi wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd." This is agreed upon (4). This is because it is a state of prayer, so dhikr is legislated during it, just as in bowing and prostration. As for what they mentioned, it is not a proof for them; for if its mention was omitted in their hadith, it is mentioned in our ahadith, and its narrator, Abu Hurayrah, explicitly stated its mention in his other narration. Thus, if their hadith were taken in isolation, it would not contain proof, so how could we abandon the authentic, explicit ahadith for it? The correct view is that the individual praying alone says what the Imam says, because it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said to Buraydah: "O Buraydah, when you raise your head in bowing, say: Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah, Rabbana wa laka al-hamd, mil'a al-sama'i wa mil'a al-ardi wa mil'a ma shi'ta min shay'in ba'd." Reported by al-Daraqutni (5). This is general for all his states, and it is authentically proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to say that, reported by Abu Hurayrah, Abu Sa'id, Ibn Abi Awfa, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (6), and others, and all of them are authentic ahadith (7), and
