What is the ruling on one who recites dhikr containing glorification and tasbih without specifying "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord the Most High) or "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord the Most High)?

The questioner : What is your opinion on this? Some scholars say that it is permissible in prostration and bowing. As for bowing, it is permissible with anything that indicates the glorification of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and likewise in prostration, meaning without specifying "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" and "Subhanahu wa Ta'ala" (Glory be to Him and Exalted is He).

The Shaykh : This is taken from the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) But we say that what has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is better. Deviating from what the Sunnah brought in the dhikr is not permissible, even if it is assumed that there is a wording that is valid to rely on in general, like the one you mentioned where it says "Glorify Him in it." So, is it not the case that one should stick to what has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, he said "Glorified and Exalted is He" and said "Glorified and Exalted is He" and said "I have felt that I obey His greatness and I will worship Him," but he did not say "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim."

The Shaykh : Then it does not suffice for him; he must say "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" because of the statement "Glorify Him in it."

The questioner : I forgot that you said there is a problem with the sitting.

The Shaykh : Yes, if he forgot, we would say he should perform the prostration for forgetfulness.
