Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I used to hear my relatives say “May the Everlasting Live” when they heard the sound of thunder, and they would say “Glory to the One who creates” when they saw the lightning. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
There is no evidence for that.
And the thunder exalts [Allah] with praise of Him - and the angels [as well] from fear of Him
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ
