Continuation of the detailed explanation regarding rising from the bowing position.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If a man says or does the following, and pay close attention, he is in the bowing position and says: "Allah hears the one who praises Him, our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." What did he do? He combined the two phrases while standing. He was bowing, then he raised his head and said: "Allah hears the one who praises Him, our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." This contradicts the Sunnah. Why? Because he mixed the phrase for standing with the phrase for remaining in the standing position, or let us call it mixing the phrase for transitioning from bowing with the phrase for standing. This is contrary to the Sunnah. Therefore, the one who is bowing should, as he raises his head from the bowing position, say: "Allah hears the one who praises Him." And when he is standing, he should say: "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." Today, most of the worshippers do this: the imam says: "Allah hears the one who praises Him," and they say: "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." What did they do? They did the opposite of what I described earlier; they combined the two phrases, but they said them while standing. Today, the worshippers do what? They say the phrase that they should say while standing, and they are raising their heads from the bowing position. So when they stand up, especially if the imam is adhering to the Sunnah, they stand up in silence. Well, this is the place for "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise," so they wasted this phrase because of their assumption that the imam is the one who combines the two phrases: "Allah hears the one who praises Him, our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." The follower does not say "Allah hears the one who praises Him"; he only says: "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." This is a mistake. There is no difference between the imam, the one praying alone, and the follower in that there are two phrases: the phrase for transitioning from bowing to standing, which is "Allah hears the one who praises Him," and the phrase for standing, which is "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." Especially since there are long phrases for "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise": "Praise, abundant, good, and blessed, in which You are blessed, upon which You are blessed, as You love, O our Lord, and as You are pleased with." Or: "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth, and filling what is between them of what You will of anything, and the people of praise and glory, worthy of what the servant says, and we are all Your servants. O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You have given, and there is no one who can give what You have withheld, and the power of the powerful is of no avail to You against You." This is the phrase for standing. What is the phrase for transitioning? "Allah hears the one who praises Him." The majority of the followers waste this phrase and say the phrase for standing instead of the phrase for transitioning from bowing to standing. This is a very clear mistake. Therefore, every worshipper, whether he is an imam, or praying alone, or a follower, when he raises his head from the bowing position, should say: "Allah hears the one who praises Him." When he is fully standing, he should say: "Our Lord, and to You belongs all praise." And if he adds more, Allah will increase him for that. This is the answer to your question.
