1063. It was narrated that Rifâ'ah bin Râfi' said: "We were praying behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ one day and when he raised his head from bowing he said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman ḥamidah (Allâh hears the one who praises Him).' A man behind him said: 'Rabbanâ wa lakal-ḥamd, ḥamdan kathîran tayyiban mubâraḥan fîh. (O our Lord, and to You be the praise, much blessed and pure praise.)' When the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had finished he said: 'Who is the one who spoke just now?' The man said: 'I did, O Messenger of Allâh.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I saw thirty-some angels rushing to see which of them would write it down first.'" (Saḥîḥ)

Commentary
In these narrations, there is no negation of the worshippers reciting Samiʿ Allāhu liman hamidah. But there is no mention of it either. Hence, there is room for both. Followers of the Imām may therefore either recite it or abstain from reciting it.
