The Formula of Praise in Response and the Sermon of Need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And upon him be the prayer.

The Shaykh:
This is the Sunnah (recommended practice). When you reach the salam of one person, you say, "Upon you and upon him be the peace." This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it.

The questioner:
Basically, did you notice that you should follow the continuity of your brother in the presence of the reference? In all cases. And to Allah be the blessing.

The Shaykh:
The important point is that it begins; I told him, "Al-Hamdu lillah." This is the Sunnah, and this is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and this is what is reported in the Qur'an: "Al-Hamdu lillah," and so on. As for "Inna al-Hamdu lillah," this has not been established from the Messenger, and it is not in the Qur'an either. It only appears in some narrations of the hadith of the sermon of necessity. The correct narration of the sermon of necessity is with the wording "Al-Hamdu lillah."
Therefore, one should avoid this phrase, "Inna al-Hamdu lillah," and use "Al-Hamdu lillah" instead, as it is in the Qur'an and as it is in the sermons of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The sermons of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are narrated, and they do not contain "Inna al-Hamdu lillah." This only appears in some narrations of the hadith of the sermon of necessity.
