Does “Subuh Quddus Rabb al-Mala'ikah wa al-Ruh” suffice in ruku' in place of “Subhan Rabbi al-'Azeem”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And this is Ibrahim Sulayman al-Najjar, Ibrahim ibn Sulayman, what is it?

The questioner : Al-Najjar.

The Shaykh : Al-Najjar?
He says: It is well known that it is established to supplicate in ruku' by saying:
All Glorious, All Holy, Lord of the Angels and the Spirit. سبوح قدوس رب الملائكة والروح
Sahih Muslim 487a
and by saying:
Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك اللهم اغفر لي
Sahih al-Bukhari 4293
Do these phrases suffice in place of saying:
Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent, and with His praise. سبحان ربي العظيم وبحمده
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:359
meaning: is it permissible to restrict oneself to them only?
Answer: No, it is obligatory to say: Subhan Rabbi al-'Azeem, because it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when the words of Allah the Exalted were revealed:
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great. فسبح باسم ربك العظيم
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:74]
he said:
Make it in your bowing. اجعلوها في ركوعكم
And although there is discussion regarding this hadith, it is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say:
Glory be to my Lord, the Most High سبحان ربي العظيم
which supports this.
