What is the ruling on saying "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Exalted) in prostration and "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) in bowing?

The questioner:
If the imam or the one praying behind him says "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" in his prostration and "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" in his bowing by mistake, and he has already risen from that pillar, what should he do? Does he have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness?
The Shaykh:
If he says.
The questioner:
"Subhan Rabi al-A'la" in the bowing, and "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" in the prostration.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this requires the prostration for forgetfulness because he left an obligatory act and said a prescribed phrase in the wrong place. If he said "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" in the bowing and did not say "Subhan Rabi al-Azim," then he is required to prostrate because he left an obligatory act. However, if he said "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" and said "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" out of forgetfulness or error, there is no harm on him and he is not required to prostrate; he is not required to prostrate if he performed the obligatory act. Or if he said "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" in the prostration and said "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" after he realized it, he does not have to perform the prostration for forgetfulness because he performed the obligatory act. As for if he limited himself to saying "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" in the prostration and did not say "Subhan Rabi al-A'la," then he is required to prostrate; it is obligatory for him because he left an obligatory act of the prayer. Yes.
