In Salah, there are specific tasbeeh (phrases of remembrance) that are recited during Ruku and Sujood. Here is what to say in Ruku and Sujood:
Ruku:
- The tasbeeh recited in Ruku is "Subhaana rabbiyal azeem" which means "Glory be to my Lord Almighty".
- It is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad to recite it three times.
Sujood:
- The tasbeeh recited in Sujood is "Subhana rabbiyal ala" which means "Glory is to my Lord, the Most High".
- It is the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad to recite it three times.
It is important to learn the correct way of prayer and to say the right dhikr at the right place. If you make a mistake, there are two cases:
- Mixing: If you realize you have mixed the phrases in Sujood, it does not nullify the Salah. Before you rise up, say the correct tasbeeh and you have not missed a required act.
- Incorrectly: If you have incorrectly missed the opportunity to say the right dhikr, do not try to go back into Ruku or Sujood once you realize. This would render your prayer invalid since you have changed the steps of Salah. It is advised to complete the prostration of forgetfulness.
Note that the recitation of tasbeeh in Ruku and Sujood may vary slightly depending on the school of thought or the individuals preference.
