1665. It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night. He started to recite Al-Baqarah and I thought, 'he will bow when he reaches one hundred,' but he carried on. I thought, 'he is going to recite the whole Sûrah in one Rak'ah,' but he carried on. He started to recite An-Nisâ and recited (the whole Sûrah), then he started to recite Âl 'Imrân and recited (the whole Sûrah), reciting slowly. When he reached a Verse that spoke of glorifying Allâh, he glorified Him. When he reached a Verse that spoke of supplication, he made supplicated. When he reached a Verse that spoke of seeking refuge with Allâh, he sought refuge with Him. Then he bowed and said: 'Subhâna Rabbiyal-'Azîm (Glory be to my Lord Almighty),' and he bowed for almost as long as he had stood. Then he raised his head and said: 'Sami' Allâhu liman hamidah (Allâh hears those who praise Him),' and he stood for almost as long as he had bowed. Then he prostrated and started to say:
'Subhâna Rabbiyal-A'la (Glory be to my Lord Most High),' and he prostrated for almost as long as he had bowed." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
As it is desirable to prostrate upon reciting the prostration Ayah, in the same way, according to the place and occasion one should pronounce the Tasbih, supplication, and the Ta'awwudh (seeking refuge in Allâh). Likewise, one may recite one and the same Ayah or the Verse of the Glorious Qur'ân or the Tasbih or, a supplication repeatedly in the ritual prayer.
