Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 1946 — on the Permissibility of Saying Subhanallah

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ لِلرِّجَالِ))
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If anyone faces a need during prayer, he should say Subhan Allah. Clapping is for women, and saying Subhan Allah is for men.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This is the utmost perfect wisdom of Islam that although speech has been declared forbidden in prayer, the worshipper has been permitted to indicate his need by saying “Subhan Allah.” The purpose of this concession is to protect the worshipper from distress.
