What is the ruling on one who says: "Subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu Akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil-Aliyil-Adheem" (Glory be to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might or power except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Magnificent) when standing for Tarawih prayers, and is this considered to be in the place of calling the iqama for Tarawih prayer?
The aforementioned dhikr is great, but mentioning it when standing for Taraweeh prayers and adhering to it, or believing it to be recommended at that time, or that it is equivalent to Taraweeh prayer, is considered an innovation in religion. This is because no such practice has been reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours something that does not belong to it will have it rejected."
