The ruling on saying "Subhanaka Rabbi al-'Azeem" (Glory be to You, my Lord, the Exalted) during the bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some people say, "Subhanaka Rabbi al-'Azeem" (Glory be to You, my Lord, the Exalted) while in the state of a believer, and in the state of his path, they say, "Subhanaka Rabbi al-'Azeem." This is a prescribed thought that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention regarding the clarification of the Hajj, especially what I have heard from many of the worshippers, particularly those who are absent.

Answer:
"Subhanaka" with the pronoun of address has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What was reported is "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) and "Subhan Rabbi al-'Azeem" (Glory be to my Lord, the Exalted) without the pronoun of address. It is obligatory to follow what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and not to add to it. Leaving out the pronoun here is what is obligatory. Yes.
