What is the ruling on supplication during bowing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is supplication permissible during bowing, just as it is during prostration?

Answer:
Bowing involves magnification:
So far as Ruk'u is concerned, extol in it the Great and Glorious Lordأما الركوع فعظموا فيه الرب
Sahih Muslim 479a
But accompanying supplication is not a problem.
Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirliسبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك اللهم اغفر لي
Sahih al-Bukhari 4293
This is accompanying. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
As for bowing, glorify the Lord therein, and as for prostration, strive hard in supplicationأما الركوع فعظموا فيه الرب، وأما السجود فاجتهدوا في الدعاء
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1045Sahih (Darussalam)
.
Q: Meaning, one does not supplicate for matters of this world?
The Shaykh: No, one magnifies the Lord: Subhan Rabbi al-Azim (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent), Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika Allahumma ighfir li (Glory be to You, O our Lord, and praise; O Allah, forgive me), Subuh Quddus (The Most Pure, the Most Holy), and so on.
