More than one form of tasbih after the prayer is reported in the Sunnah; is it more complete for a person to vary between them, doing this one sometimes and that one sometimes?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, would it be more complete to distribute them, meaning doing this one sometimes, that one sometimes, and another one sometimes, so that one is applying the Sunnah?

The Shaykh : No problem, we are asking which is better. We are not asking if it is permissible to do this one sometimes, that one sometimes, and another one sometimes. Do you think, in general, that people have this kind of activity? As came in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding the story of Dhu al-Yadayn. Do you remember the story of Dhu al-Yadayn? Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
While we were praying behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the 'Asr prayer, he said the taslim at the end of two rak'ahs, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and went far away to pray, placing one foot on the other. A man known as Dhu al-Yadayn said, "O Messenger of Allah, did the prayer become shorter or did you forget?" He said, "Neither of that happened." He said, "Yes, it did happen; you prayed two rak'ahs." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at his companions, among whom were Abu Bakr and 'Umar, and said, "Is Dhu al-Yadayn telling the truth?" They said, "Yes." So he returned to his place and completed the two rak'ahs, then prostrated the two prostrations of forgetfulness, and then said the taslim. بينما كنا نصلي وراء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاة العصر إذ سلم على رأس ركعتين ثم نهض عليه السلام وذهب بعيداً للصلاة ووضع إحدى رجليه على الأخرى قال رجل يقال له ذو اليدين يا رسول الله أقصرت الصلاة أم نسيت قال: كل ذلك لم يكن، قال: بلى، قد كان صليت ركعتين فنظر عليه الصلاة والسلام في أصحابه وفيهم أبو بكر وعمر قال: أصدق ذو اليدين، قالوا، نعم فرجع إلى مقامه وجاء بالركعتين ثم سجد سجدتي السهو ثم سلم
The point of the story is that when he said the taslim at the end of the two rak'ahs, the people rushed out. Here is the point: it was as if they did not believe that the four-rak'ah prayer had become two. And Dhu al-Yadayn ran before the others. Do you think that people like us have this, even though those were the Companions? What do you say about the later generations, like us? Do they have this activity in maintaining all the adhkar, and memorizing this one and that one and that one, so that he brings this one once and that one once and that one once? They are the general public. If you tell them to maintain a routine from these routines and then they do it, they say in Syria, "May Allah increase his good." Do you understand? The research in the question was which of these types is better. The first type is in Sahih Muslim. The second type is in Sunan al-Nasa'i with two authentic chains. The third type, I do not recall it now, but suppose it is authentic. But which is better? The best is the one where he said:
So do that, then. فافعلوا إذن
This means that the vision was a vision of an angel and that a new legislation came which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved by his command:
So do that, then. فافعلوا ذلك إذن
