Can the hadith of Zayd ibn Thabit, "He said: 'Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave.' So they said: 'We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave,'" be used as evidence for the permissibility of congregational supplication, such as when a guide says, "Say 'Allahu Akbar'," and the people respond, "Allahu Akbar," or is there a difference between the two situations?
