The Formula of the Opening Supplication According to the Hanafis

Question
Is it a requirement in the opening supplication to say: (Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise, blessed is Your name and exalted is Your majesty, and there is no deity other than You), or is it permissible to mention other preserved supplications?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is Sunnah to recite the opening supplication in this form, and it is disliked to mispronounce anything else at the beginning of the prayer, and God knows best.
