Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is mentioned in the Sunnah
how the Prophet used to say when bowing and prostrating himself, “All-Glorious, All-Holy, Lord of the angels and the spirit."أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان يقول في ركوعه وسجوده سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح
Mishkat al-Masabih 872
He says: Is it valid for me to say it in ruku' and sujud without saying Subhan Rabbi al-A'la or Subhan Rabbi al-Azim?

Answer:
No, it is not sufficient. It is obligatory to say Subhan Rabbi al-A'la, and it is obligatory to say Subhan Rabbi al-Azim in ruku'. However, you may say it and add to it. If you add to it, you do not have whatever you wish, because when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received the revelation
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[Al-A'la 87:1]
he said: Make it in your prostrations. And when the revelation of His saying "So glorify the name of your Lord, the Supreme" came down, he said: Make it in your bowing. So we do not leave the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to answer with another phrase. Yes.
