Ruling on omitting: (Hear from Allah whoever praises Him) after rising from bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From al-Qasim, this is a message sent by one of the sisters. The sender: (A. L. H.). Our sister asks and says: I used to say in my prayer, while rising from bowing: "Our Lord, and to You is praise," without saying: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him." But afterwards, I heard that this is not permissible, and that I must say: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him." So, is there any sin or fault on me for the prayers I have already performed, considering that I did not know that saying: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him" is obligatory in prayer? And if there is something required of me, what should I do?
Please advise us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We hope that nothing is required of you because of ignorance. However, you should seek forgiveness, repent, and feel regret for the laxity and lack of inquiry that occurred. This is because it is obligatory for one who is ignorant of something to ask the people of knowledge about their prayer and other matters. What has passed is valid, and praise be to Allah. In the future, you should say: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him" when rising from bowing.
And so it is for the imam, and so it is for the man praying alone. Each one says: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him."
As for the one praying behind the imam, he says: "Our Lord, and to You is praise." This is the correct practice. It is not required of him to say: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him," nor is it prescribed for him to do so. This is the concern of the imam and the man or woman praying alone. When rising, he says: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him," and when standing upright, he says: "Our Lord, and to You is praise," or "O Allah, our Lord, to You is praise." As for what has passed, we ask Allah to forgive us and you. The prayer is valid, if Allah wills, because of ignorance. But in the future, you should strive in this matter, persist in it, and not omit this phrase: "Hear from Allah whoever praises Him" if you are praying alone. However, if you are praying with an imam, you should say: "Our Lord, and to You is praise." If you pray with an imam, you say: "Our Lord, and to You is praise," or "O Allah, our Lord, to You is praise." Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
