Ruling on continuing the supplication recited after bowing until one touches the ground

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: We hear some people, when they move from bowing to prostration, continue reciting the supplication that is said after bowing until they touch the ground or come close to touching it. What is the ruling on this action?The Shaykh: Indeed, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said in His Book:
And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers.وَمَنْ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
[al-Baqarah: 229] and the prayer is defined; every pillar in it has a specific supplication,And when a person rises from bowing, he says: "Hear from Allah those who praise Him. Our Lord, to You belongs all praise, abundant, good, and blessed praise, filling the heavens and filling the earth and filling whatever is between them, and filling whatever You will of anything after that" then he prostrates, and during the descent from standing to prostration he says: Allahu Akbar,So this descent, its mention is: Allahu Akbar. And this man who continues the supplication of standing while he is descending to prostration, I do not know when he will say the takbir,He says the takbir when he prostrates, meaning: that he said the takbir in a place other than its proper place. So, may Allah reward you with good, advise him,and say: complete the supplication of standing, then descend to prostration saying the takbir. This is the sunnah (recommended practice).

The questioner: What is the ruling on that?The Shaykh: The ruling on that is that he should be advised and informed,Some scholars say: if he does not say the takbir between standing and prostration, his prayer is invalid,But we do not say this: it is invalidated,Rather, we say: advise him and explain to him the correct way.
