Question:
How is the worship of Allah in the middle of the night, other than prayer, and when prolonging the bowing and prostration? What do I say other than "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent) and "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High)? I ask you to inform me and clarify this, and if there are some books on this, I ask you to direct me to them. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
You say in the bowing and prostration, after performing the tasbihat: "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" in the bowing, and "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" in the prostration. The obligatory amount is once, the minimum of perfection is three, and the maximum of perfection is ten tasbihat in the bowing and prostration. Then, after that, you make du'a (supplication) if you limited yourself to the one, or to the three if you limited yourself to them, or to the ten if you limited yourself to them. You supplicate with whatever is easy for you from the supplications for matters of your religion and matters of your worldly life, and you supplicate for yourself, for your parents, and for your Muslim brothers, and you supplicate for the victory of Islam and the honor of Islam. So the field is open for supplication. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encouraged supplication in the prostration and encouraged increasing in it, because it is a place where it is likely to be answered, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
