shaikh Ibn Uthaimin rahimahu Allah said in his sharh of "al Arba'een an Nawawiyyah" when speaking about saying intention out loud:
(It was told that a layman from Najd was in al Masjid al Haram, wanting to pray Dhuhr, and there was a man beside him who only knows how to do niyyah (intention) out loud, so when it was iqamah, the man said: "O Allah I intend to pray Dhuhr prayer, 4 rak'ahs for the sake of Allah, behind the imam of the Masjid al Haram, and when he wanted to make takbirat al ihram, the layman said to him: be patient O man, you still need to say the date, the day, the month and the year; so the man was in wonderment. )
