The above (No 868) tradition has also been reported through a different chain of narrators by Uqbah ibn Amir to the same effect. This version adds: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, he said: "Glory and praise be to my mighty Lord" three times, and when he prostrated himself, he said: "Glory and praise be to my most high Lord" three times. Abu Dawud said: We are afraid the addition of the word "praise" is not guarded.

فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلاَثًا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى وَبِحَمْدِهِ ثَلاَثًا

The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you bows, he should say three time,:"Glory be to my mighty Lord," and when he prostrates, he should say: "Glory be to my most high Lord" three times. This is the minimum number. Abu Dawud said: The chain of this tradition is broken. The narrator 'Awn did not see 'Abd Allah (b. Mas'ud).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَكَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ فَلْيَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى ثَلاَثًا وَذَلِكَ أَدْنَاهُ

"I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he bowed and said when bowing: 'Subhana Rabbial-azim (Glory be to my Lord Almighty).' And when prostrating: 'Subhana Rabbial-'Ala (Glory be to my Lord Most High).'"

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ فَقَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى

“Subhana Rabbiyal-‘Azim (Glory is to my Lord, the Most Great)” three times, and when he prostrated he said: “Subhana Rabbiyal-A’la (Glory is to my Lord the Most High)” three times.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَكَعَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ

I prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he used to say in his rukūʿ: ‘I glorify the perfection of Allah, the Supreme’ and his sajdah: ‘I glorify the perfection of Allah, the Most High’. He never came to an āyah of mercy except that he paused at it and asked ˹for Allah’s Mercy˺, nor he came to an āyah of punishment except that he sought the refuge ˹in Allah˺ from it.

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ» وَفِي سُجُودِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى» قَالَ وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ عِنْدَهَا فَسَأَلَ وَلَا آيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا تَعَوَّذَ مِنْهَا

he performed Salat with the Prophet, and that while he was bowing he would say: (Subhana Rabbiyal Azim); "Glorious is my Lord the Magnificent" and while prostrating: (Subhana Rabbiyal A'la) 'Glorious is my Lord the Most High.' And he would not recite an Ayah mentioning mercy, except that he would stop and ask (for mercy), and he would not recite an Ayah mentioning punishment, except that he would stop and seek refuge (with Allah from it). (Using translation from Tirmidhī 262)

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَمَا مَرَّ بِآيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ إِلَّا وَقَفَ فَسَأَلَ وَلَا بِآيَةِ عَذَابٍ إِلَّا تَعَوَّذَ

[AI] "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when he went into the bowing position, he would say: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great.' Then, when he prostrated, he would say: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.'"

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ جَعَلَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى»

أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيمِ ثَلَاثًا وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى ثَلَاثًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُهُ يُرْوَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَالسَّرِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ هَذَا فَلَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيمِ ثَلَاثًا وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى ثَلَاثًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ صِلَةَ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَبِّحُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيمِ ثَلَاثًا وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى ثَلَاثًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ مَعْرُوفٌ نَسَبُهُ صَالِحُ الْحَدِيثِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ used to say in his bowing: "Glory be to my Lord, the Great," and in his prostration: "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَفِي سُجُودِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى

"I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he bowed and said when bowing: 'Subhana Rabbial-azim (Glory be to my Lord Almighty).' And when prostrating: 'Subhana Rabbial-'Ala (Glory be to my Lord Most High).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1046)

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَرَكَعَ فَقَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ» وَفِي سُجُودِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى»

[AI] He prayed next to the Prophet ﷺ one night and he would say during his bowing, "Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty" and during his prostration, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High."

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَيْلَةً وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ» وَفِي سُجُودِهِ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى»
