Is the invocation, "Subhan Dhi al-Jabarut wa al-Malakut wa al-Kibriya' wa al-'Azamah" (Glory be to the Possessor of Omnipotence, Sovereignty, Grandeur, and Magnificence), specific to the night prayer or general to any prayer?
This remembrance (dhikr) during bowing (ruku') and prostration () is confirmed from the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to bow and prostrate for a duration similar to his standing, and he would say during his bowing and prostration: "Exalted is the Possessor of Omnipotence, Sovereignty, Grandeur, and Magnificence." This remembrance is prescribed in the night prayer and in other prayers, because the general principle is that what is legislated for voluntary prayers is legislated for obligatory prayers, and vice versa. Many scholars, such as Abu Dawud, Al-Nasa'i, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Al-Nawawi, have mentioned this remembrance among what is recited in bowing and prostration, without much detail.
