The ruling concerning stating one's intention

Question: What is the ruling concerning stating one's intention for the prayer and ablution?

Response: The ruling is that such is an innovation. It has not been narrated from the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) or from his Companions. Therefore, one must avoid it. The place of the intention is the heart. It is never needed to state an intention.
