rather, in "al-Sunan," it is mentioned that when the verse: ﴿exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great﴾ was revealed, he said: "Include it in your bowing," and when the verse: ﴿Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High﴾ was revealed, he said: "Include it in your prostration." Thus, it was prescribed for them to say in bowing: (Exalted is my Lord, the Most Great) and in prostration (Exalted is my Lord, the Most High). And in "al-Ṣaḥīḥ," it is mentioned that he used to say in his bowing: "Exalted is my Lord, the Most Great" and in his prostration "Exalted is my Lord, the Most High," and this is the meaning of his saying: "Include it in your bowing and prostration," by the consensus of the Muslims. So, exalting the name of his Lord, the Most High, and mentioning the name of his Lord, and similar expressions are complete and beneficial speech, as in "al-Ṣaḥīḥ" from him (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): he said: "The best words after the Quran are four, and they are from the Quran: Exalted is Allāh, all praise is due to Allāh, there is no deity but Allāh, and Allāh is the Greatest." And in "al-Ṣaḥīḥ"
بل فِي " السّنَن " أَنه لما نزل قَوْله: ﴿فسبح باسم رَبك الْعَظِيم﴾ قَالَ: " اجْعَلُوهَا فِي ركوعكم " وَلما نزل قَوْله: ﴿سبح اسْم رَبك الْأَعْلَى﴾ قَالَ: " اجْعَلُوهَا فِي سُجُودكُمْ ". فشرع لَهُم أَن يَقُولُوا فِي الرُّكُوع: (سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيم) وَفِي السُّجُود (سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى). وَفِي " الصَّحِيح " أَنه كَانَ يَقُول فِي رُكُوعه: " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْعَظِيم " وَفِي سُجُوده " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي الْأَعْلَى " وَهَذَا هُوَ معنى قَوْله: " اجْعَلُوهَا فِي ركوعكم وسجودكم " بِاتِّفَاق الْمُسلمين. فتسبيح اسْم ربه الْأَعْلَى وَذكر اسْم ربه وَنَحْو ذَلِك هُوَ بالْكلَام التَّام الْمُفِيد كَمَا فِي " الصَّحِيح " عَنهُ ﷺ: أَنه قَالَ: " أفضل الْكَلَام بعد الْقُرْآن أَربع وَهن من الْقُرْآن: سُبْحَانَ الله وَالْحَمْد لله وَلَا إِلَه إِلَّا الله وَالله أكبر ". وَفِي " الصَّحِيح "
