What is said on rising from bowing

By Ibn Baz, Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd Allah

ما يقال بعد الرفع من الركوع

A question on which wording is best after rising from bowing. Ibn Baz answered that all four wordings are reported: "Rabbana laka l-hamd", "Rabbana wa-laka l-hamd", "Allahumma rabbana laka l-hamd" and "Allahumma rabbana wa-laka l-hamd"; alternating between them is good, and there is latitude here for the imam and the one praying alone.
