Is it prescribed to say only (Subhanak) in his bowing and prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A person says: He says Subhanak in his bowing and in his prostration, so is his action correct? And sometimes he does not mention anything except this supplication, Subhanak.

Answer:
He says in the bowing, "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent). And he says in the prostration, "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). Because when the word of Allah the Exalted,
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:74]
, came down, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Use it when bowingصلى الله عليه وسلم اجعلوها في ركوعكم
Sunan Abi Dawud 869Da'if (Al-Albani)
And when it was revealedولما نزل
. And when He, (Exalted and Majestic is He), said,
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[Al-A'la 87:1]
, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Make this part of your prostrations." Yes.
