213. Dua in Sujood (Subhana Rabbiyal Ala)
Say at least three times:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى
Dua in Sujood English Transliteration
Subhaana Rabbiyal-A'laa
Dua in Sujood English Translation
Glory is to my Lord, the Most High.
This dua should be repeat again and again with the emotion of the mind. Reciting this tasbeeh at least three times is the conduct and instruction of Rasulullah (ﷺ). Most of the narrations mention "Subhaana Rabbiyal-A 'laa" and some of the hadiths describe "Subhana Rabbiyal-A 'laa wa bihamdihi". After reciting every verse of mercy, he stopped and asked Allah for it, and after reciting every verse of punishment, he stopped and asked Allah for refuge from it.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ قَالَ " رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ " وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ " سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى " .
Abu Sa'id reported: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raised his head from bowing, he said, "Our Lord, to You be all praise," and when he prostrated, he said, "Glory is to my Lord, the Most High (Subhana Rabbiyal-A'la)."
