The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the imam forgets to say "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise" after the "Allahu akbar," does he prostrate for forgetfulness?
The Shaykh:
No, the correct view, and the view of the majority, is that the imam is required to say "Allah hears the one who praises Him." As for saying "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise," it is not obligatory for him, but it is better and more excellent.
