Sunnah acts of prayer, Saying 'Ameen

It is Sunnah for everyone to say 'ameen’ after reciting al-Fatihah. The word ‘ameen’ is not
part of Surah al-Fatihah, but rather a supplication meaning, "O Allah, respond (to, or
answer what we have said). It should be said aloud in the prayers where the recital is
aloud, and quietly in the prayers where the recital is silent.

Said Na'eem al-Mujamir, "I prayed behind Abu Hurairah and he said, 'In the name of Allah,
the Compassionate, the Merciful,' then recited Surah al-Fatihah, and closed it with 'ameen’.
The people also said 'ameen’. After the prayer, Abu Hurairah said, 'By the One in whose
Hand is my soul, I have followed the prayer of the Prophet (saws)."

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (saws) said, When the imam recites, '... not of
those with whom You are angered nor of those who have gone astray (end of Surah al-
Fateha),' you should say 'ameen’. If this corresponds to when the Angels say it, he will
have all of his previous sins forgiven." (Related by al-Bukhari.)
