I was afraid that you might be annoyed with me on account of this. A person amongst the people said: It was I who said it; and in this I intended nothing but good.

And when he the Imam recites the takbir; you may also recite the takbir; for the Imam bows before you and raises himself before you. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The one is equivalent to the other. And when he says: Allah listens to him who praises Him; you should say: O Allah; our Lord; to Thee be the praise; for Allah; the Exalted and Glorious; has vouchsafed us through the tongue of His Apostle ﷺ that Allah listens to him who praises Him. And when he the Imam recites the takbir and prostrates; you should also recite the takbir and prostrate; for the Imam prostrates before you and raises himself before you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The one is equivalent to the other. And when he the Imam sits for Qada for tashahhud the first words of every one amongst you should be: All services rendered by words; acts of worship and all good things are due to Allah. Peace be upon you; O Apostle; and Allah mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the upright servants of Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. SahihMuslim-017-001-23375

So satan went back to their people and they said: What has happened to you? They said: There have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven. And there have been flung upon us flames. They said: It cannot happen but for some important event. So traverse the eastern parts of the earth and the western parts and find out why is it that there have been created obstructions between us and the news from the Heaven.

So when they heard the Quran. they listened to it attentively and said: It is this which has caused obstruction between us and news from the Heaven.
