Arabic text
1048 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ: «سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ»

Commentary
What does the term rūh or the spirit signify? It is said that it signifies the Angel Jibril (ﷺ) or a creation loftier than the angels, who could see the angels but the angels cannot see them; or, human spirits.
