Question:
He asks: Is it sufficient to say "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) in prostration, or "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la wa bihamdihi" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, and praise be to Him)?
Answer:
It is sufficient to say "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la." It is obligatory to say it once, and it is better to say it more than that, up to three, up to seven, up to ten. The more you say "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la," the better it is. And you should make du'a' (supplication) along with the tasbih; you should call upon Allah, for prostration is a place for du'a'. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it, saying:Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2:274. Yes.

As for bowing, magnify the Lord in it, and as for prostration, make much du'a' in it, for it is likely that it will be answered for you.
