The ruling on saying "Subhanaka Rabbi al-'Azeem" (Glory be to You, my Lord, the Exalted) during the bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the issue is that people say, in the state of the believer, "Subhanaka Rabb al-'Alamin" (Glory be to You, Lord of the worlds), and in the state of his path, they say "Subhanaka Rabb al-'Alamin." This is a prescribed understanding that no limit for clarification was found from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), especially what I have heard from many of the afflicted, particularly the heedless.

Answer:
"Subhanaka" with the pronoun of address was not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What was reported is "Subhan Rabi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) and "Subhan Rabi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent), without the pronoun of address. It is obligatory to follow what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and not to add to it. Leaving out the pronoun here is what is obligatory. Yes.
