Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the Shaykh's view of the one who says before the takbir of ihram, "O Allah, make our standing before You good," and when the imam says "Stand in order," he says "We have stood in order and faced forward"? Is this from the Sunnah?
Answer:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation); it is not part of the Sunnah. One does not say "We have stood still," nor does one say "O Allah, have mercy," because this has not been transmitted. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1718b

He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
