Dhikr in prostration and bowing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What should I say in prostration and in bowing?

Answer:
The prescribed dhikr in bowing is to say "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" (Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent) three times or more, and in prostration to say "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) three times or more. The obligatory amount is once: once "Subhan Rabbi al-A'la" in prostration and once "Subhan Rabbi al-Azim" in bowing, according to the most correct opinion of the scholars.
It is also recommended to say in both bowing and prostration: "Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbana wa bihamdika Allahumma ighfir li" (Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You, O Allah, forgive me). This is recommended for men and women in both obligatory and voluntary prayers. It is also recommended to make du'a (supplication) in prostration; indeed, it is recommended to make du'a in prostration and to increase one's supplication there. It is also recommended to say in both bowing and prostration: "Subuh Quddus Rabb al-Mala'ikah wa al-Ruh" (The Most Pure, the Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit), and "Subhan Dhi al-Jabrut wa al-Mulkut wa al-Kibriya' wa al-Adhamah" (Glory be to the Possessor of Might, Dominion, Majesty, and Greatness). This is recommended in bowing and prostration. There is a specific du'a for prostration, a specific du'a for prostration, whereas bowing is the place for magnification. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Glorify your Lord in Ruku' (bowing posture) and exert yourself in supplication in prostration. Thus your supplications are liable to be accepted.أما الركوع فعظموا فيه الرب، وأما السجود فاجتهدوا في الدعاء فقمن أن يستجاب لكم
Riyad as-Salihin 1427
, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا الدعاء
Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani)
. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
