Subhana Rabbiyal 'Adheem — The Tasbih of Ruku'
When "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most Great" (Quran 56:74) was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Place it in your ruku'" (Abu Dawud 869). The bow of the body is matched by words declaring the greatness of the One bowed to.
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ
Subhana Rabbiyal 'Adheem
Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great.
