The Dhikr When Lengthening the Bowing and Prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person lengthens his bowing or prostration, does he recite the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that has been reported for them, or does he limit himself to a single dhikr and repeat it?
Answer:
He should increase his tasbih. If it is ruku', he should increase his saying "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Supreme). If it is sujud, he should increase his saying "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High). There is no specific limit for this. It is permissible for him to say tasbih forty times in one rak'ah, or to increase it in the sujud; there is no harm in that.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
