To what extent is the saying: "Praise be to Allah, who is not praised for any disliked thing except Him" authentic, and does it contradict the noble verses (Al-Baqarah: 156, Al 'Imran: 173, Yusuf: 18) and the Prophetic hadiths that conclude with "let him not blame except himself"?

There is no impediment to using the phrase: "Praise be to Allah, besides Whom none is praised for any disliked matter," however, it is better to say: "Praise be to Allah in every circumstance," because this is what has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen mentioned that praising Allah with the first phrase is an incomplete praise and indicates a lack of patience. Therefore, it is preferable to express it as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, expressed it. And whoever's state is one of little patience, he is of a lower rank than those who are patient and say: "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return," or "Allah is sufficient for us, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs," or "So, [my] beautiful patience; and Allah is the one sought for help." A servant should blame himself for what his hands have committed when afflicted with a calamity, and he should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness. For whoever finds good, let him praise Allah, and whoever finds otherwise, let him blame no one but himself. If a believer is afflicted with a trial, and he blames himself and turns back to Allah, it will be an expiation for his sins and an admonition for him.
