حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَلَمَّا قَالَ {وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ} . قَالَ " آمِينَ " . فَسَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْهُ .

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 855
Core Topic: Saying Amin. This Hadith reports a personal prayer experience. Wa’il says that he prayed with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. When the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم reached nor of those who went astray, he said Amin, and they heard it from him. The narration is simple, but it clearly connects Amin with the end of Surah Al-Fatiha and shows that those praying with him could hear it. For people searching for heard Amin hadith or Ameen after Fatiha hadith, this narration gives a direct example from someone who prayed with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and reported what he heard.
What we learn from this hadith
- Wa’il prayed with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and heard his Amin.
- Amin was said after the final phrase of Al-Fatiha.
- The narration shows a direct prayer observation.
- Amin should be treated as a meaningful part of prayer recitation.
