888. It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamân that he heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say when he bowed: "Subhâna Rabbiyal-'Azim (Glory is to my Lord, the Most Great)" three times, and when he prostrated he said: "Subhâna Rabbiyal-A'la (Glory is to my Lord the Most High)" three times. (Da'if)

Arabic text

888 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَكَعَ: «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

Commentary

Repeating the formulas of the Glorification of Allâh three times is the minimum essential for these occasions. Otherwise, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has recited them during his Tahajjud bowings and prostrations which used to be quite long. (Sahih Muslim:203).
