The non-prescription of the dhikr recited after belching and yawning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! If a person belches or yawns, is there a specific dhikr that he should recite?
No.
If a person belches or yawns, there is no dhikr for him, contrary to the practice of the common people,The common people, when they belch, say: Alhamdulillah! And alhamdulillah in every situation; but it has not been reported that belching is a cause for praise,Likewise, when they yawn, they say: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, and this has no basis, and it has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to do that.

But one might say: Is not belching a blessing, and does not a blessing deserve praise of Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?We said: Yes.
It is a blessing; but it has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to praise Allah when he belched, and if it has not been reported, then it is not prescribed, based on a known principle among the scholars,and she: that anything whose cause existed in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) but he did not do it, then doing it is not a Sunnah; because the action of the Messenger is a Sunnah and his leaving it is a Sunnah, so belching existed, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not praise Allah for it,Therefore: leaving the praise is the Sunnah.

Likewise, seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan when yawning: one might say: that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Yawning is from Shaytan),And Allah the Exalted said:
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allahوَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ
[Al-A'raf: 200]! We said: The meaning of His saying (the Exalted):
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satanوَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ
[Al-A'raf: 200] is that if you intend to commit a sin or leave an obligatory duty, then seek refuge in Allah; because the command to do indecency is from Shaytan,
Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immoralityالشَّيْطَانُ يَعِدُكُمْ الْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ
[Al-Baqarah: 268] so if this pricking occurs, seek refuge in Allah.

As for yawning, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Yawning is from Shaytan, so if one of you yawns, let him suppress it as much as he can, and if he cannot, let him place his hand over his mouth) and he did not say: If one of you yawns, let him seek refuge in Allah,Although he said: (Yawning is from Shaytan), so this indicates that seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan when yawning is not a Sunnah.
