(Verse 74) {فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيْمِ:} For details, see the commentary of the first verse of Surah Al-A'la. Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I performed prayer with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in his bowing he would recite {’’سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيْمِ‘‘} and in his prostration he would recite {’’سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلٰي‘‘}, and whenever he passed by a verse of mercy, he would pause at it and ask Allah, and whenever he passed by a verse of punishment, he would pause at it and seek refuge with Allah." [ أبوداوٗد، الصلاۃ، باب ما یقول الرجل في رکوعہ و سجودہ : ۸۷۱، و قال الألباني صحیح ]
