The ruling on saying: “O Allah, make our standing before You good before the takbir of entering prayer”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Shaykh, what is the Shaykh’s view regarding some phrases that are said? Some people say before the takbir of entering prayer, “O Allah, make our standing before You good,” and when the imam says “Stand up,” they say, “We have stood up and turned to You.” Is this from the Sunnah?

Answer:
No, this is not from the Sunnah, and it was not reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). After the takbir of entering prayer, one proceeds with the reported opening supplication (istiftah), and does not say, “Make our standing before You good,” nor before entering the prayer. One does not say this because it was not reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
