The concurrence of the Imam in the utterances of prayer – other than the Takbirat al- and the – is neither disliked nor does it invalidate the prayer. Your prayer is valid even if you say the Takbir simultaneously with the Imam. Doubt concerning an act of worship after its completion does not affect its validity. As for obsessive whispers (Waswas), they must be repelled and not indulged in.
