حَدَّثَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
اللَّيْثُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى أَوْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ
رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ، عَنْ
عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، بِمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ ، قَالَ : " فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَكَعَ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، ثَلَاثًا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، ثَلَاثًا " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ نَخَافُ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ مَحْفُوظَةً ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : انْفَرَدَ أَهْلُ مِصْرَ بِإِسْنَادِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ : حَدِيثِ الرَّبِيعِ وَحَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: 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.

870. Commentary:
Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah states that Allamah Ibn al-Salah and others have denied the addition of «وبحمده». However, due to the presence of multiple chains of transmission (asanid), it gains strength, and this denial does not remain significant. When Imam Ahmad rahimahullah was asked about this, he said: I do not say the words of «وبحمده». For details, see: [نيل الاوطار، باب الذكر فى الركوع والسجود۔ 274/2]
