The answer

The utterance by the reciter or listener, "Allah, Lord of the worlds, will bring it," after concluding the verse: ﴿Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken, then who could bring you flowing water?"﴾ has not been authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Some Hanbali and Shafi'i jurists, as well as Jalal al-Din al-Mahalli, have transmitted this remembrance, based on the of Hudhayfah which speaks about interacting with verses of mercy and punishment in prayer. However, this inference is not clear in this specific context. The interrogative in the verse is rhetorical, aiming to indicate that no one but Allah can bring forth water. Nevertheless, for one who uttered this remembrance in imitation of some scholars, their prayer is valid, as it is a form of remembrance and does not invalidate the prayer.
