Sahih Muslim 487 — What Is To Be Said While Bowing And Prostrating
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ نَبَّأَتْهُ ، " أَنَّ ّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَسُجُودِه : سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ ، رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ " ،
'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) used to pronounce while bowing and prostrating himself: All Glorious, All Holy, Lord of the Angels and the Spirit.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: By "the Spirit" (ruh) is meant Jibril (Gabriel) alayhis salam. Some have said that this refers to another great angel or an independent creation, whom even the angels cannot see.

1049. Commentary: What is meant by “the Spirit”? It is said that it refers to Jibril (alayhis salam), or a creation higher than the angels who sees the angels while the angels do not see it, or the human souls. However, the Noble Qur’an explicitly clarifies that what is meant by it is indeed Jibril al-Amin (the Trustworthy), and due to his honor and rank, he is mentioned separately after the angels. Allah the Exalted says: “The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down” [الشعراء 193 : 26] — “This (Qur’an) has been brought down by the Trustworthy Angel.”
