The questioner : Did an authentic hadith come down stating that this is said specifically in the prayer?
The Shaykh : No, there is a hadith that suffices us for this wording, and it is: or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. As for what you mentioned, we do not know any basis for it. Are you full, or not?
The questioner : I am not full!
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
