Takbir when ascending and tasbih when descending, whether traveling or resident

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It was reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
He would say takbir when ascending a mountain, and tasbih when descending,كان يكبر إذا علا جبلا، ويسبح إذا هبط،
. He asks: Is this specific to travel, or does it also apply while resident?

Answer:
No, this is general. If one ascends to a high place, he says takbir, and if he descends to a low place, he says tasbih. This is general for travel and for other situations. Yes.
