What is the ruling on saying “Praise be to Allah to the ultimate degree”?

Praise
be to Allah

I put this
question to our shaykh, ‘Abd ar-Rahmaan al-Barraak (may Allah preserve him)
and he said:

There is no
basis for this phrase, and it is unsound in terms of its meaning, for there
is no end to the praise of Allah. End quote.

And Allah knows
best.
