Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah preserve you. Regarding the saying: "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise and thankfulness," is the addition of "and thankfulness" reported or not?
The Shaykh : No, it was not reported. When the one praying says, "Allah hears the one who praises Him," he says, "Our Lord, to You belongs all praise," and does not add anything. What some of the common people add is out of ignorance. The ruling is that praise befalls Allah and thankfulness befalls Allah, but the best is to follow the text.
The questioner : And is it said to be an innovation?
The Shaykh : No, he did not intend to innovate. This is either something that just came out of his mouth, or it is from the perspective of loving the remembrance of Allah. But it is said to him: The best is to restrict oneself to what the text brought.
