Is it true that the worshipper (ma'mum) does not utter any remembrance (dhikr) after fully rising from bowing (i'tidal)? And does this mean that the saying (Rabbana wa laka al-hamd - O our Lord, to You be all praise) is said during the transition from bowing (ruku') to standing erect (i'tidal)? And what is the extent of stillness (sukoon) by which the pillar of tranquility (rukn al-tuma'ninah) is achieved upon fully rising from bowing (i'tidal)?
The majority of scholars hold that when rising from rukoo‘ (bowing), the worshiper following the Imam (ma’moom) should only say: "Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O our Lord, and to You be all praise)." However, some scholars preferred that after straightening up, one should say: "Mil’as-samawati wa mil’al-ardi wa mil’a ma shi’ta min shay’in ba‘d (filling the heavens, and filling the earth, and filling whatever else You wish)." This applies to both the Imam and the person praying alone.
Al-San‘ani, in "Subul al-Salam," cited a hadith indicating the permissibility of this remembrance for every worshiper. Ibn Rajab was of the opinion that the apparent view of Imam Ahmad's madhhab is that the Imam and the person praying alone should say "Mil’as-samawati wal-ardi" and what follows it, while the ma’moom (worshiper following the Imam) should restrict themselves to "Rabbana wa lakal-hamd." There is another narration from Ahmad stating that it is recommended for the ma’moom to say the tahmid (praise) and the supplication that follows it, just like the Imam and the person praying alone, but without saying "Sami‘a Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears those who praise Him)."
Tranquility (طمأنينة) after straightening up means the stillness and stability of the limbs for a short period of time.
