Some of the worshippers add "and the thanks" after the imam says "Our Lord, to You is the praise," knowing that there is no text regarding this. Is this an innovation, and is it permissible to add to it?

The questioner : Some of the worshippers add "and the thanks" after saying "Our Lord, to You is the praise," upon rising from the bowing, knowing that there is no text regarding this. Is this an innovation?
And is it permissible to add to the supplication in the sitting between the two prostrations beyond what is transmitted, or is one required to stick to what is transmitted?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt that sticking to the obligatory dhikr is the best.
So when a person rises from the bowing, let him say:
Our Lord, to You belongs all praise ربنا ولك الحمد
, and he should not add "and the thanks," because it has not been transmitted.
The transmitted form in this place, or the transmitted forms in this place, are four:
Our Lord, to You belongs all praise ربنا ولك الحمد
,
Our Lord, to You is the praise ربنا لك الحمد
،
O Allah! our Lord, unto Thee be praise اللهم ربنا لك الحمد
Sahih Muslim 476b
،
Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O Allah, our Lord and to You be the praise) اللهم ربنا ولك الحمد
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1060Sahih (Darussalam)
.
You say these four forms, but not all of them together; rather, you say this one once and that one once.
In some prayers you say: "Our Lord, to You is the praise."
In some prayers you say: "Our Lord, to You is the praise."
And in some: "O Allah, our Lord, to You is the praise."
And in some: "O Allah, our Lord, to You is the praise."
As for "the thanks," it has not been transmitted, so it is better to leave it out.
As for adding to
Rabbighfir li warhamni رب اغفر لي وارحمني
Sunan Ibn Majah 898Da’if (Darussalam)
between the two prostrations, as I said: sticking to what has been transmitted is the best, and if you add, there is no blame on you.
