Is the friend's statement correct regarding the validity of the contradiction between limiting tasbeeh to once in bowing and prostration, and saying: "Our Lord, and to You be praise" after rising from bowing, and the pillar of tranquility; and the necessity of repeating the saying: "My Lord, forgive me" between the two prostrations and after rising from bowing, to the extent that one might think the worshiper has forgotten, justifying this by the weeping of Anas ibn Malik and emphasizing it with prophetic hadiths, and deeming the Permanent Committee's fatwa incorrect, along with the obligation to mention the evidence or advise him if his statement is not correct?
Tranquility (ṭuma’nīnah) is a pillar of prayer during bowing (rukūʿ), rising from bowing (iʿtidāl), prostration (sujūd), and sitting between the two prostrations. Its minimum is stillness, however brief. Reciting 'Subhanallah' once in bowing and prostration is sufficient according to the Hanbalis, and is recommended according to the majority of scholars. A hadith narrated by Anas mentions prolonging bowing and prostration to the extent of approximately ten recitations of 'Subhanallah', but this hadith has some reservations (maqāl), and no one has made this obligatory or a pillar whose omission would invalidate the prayer. Therefore, one should not speak about religious matters without knowledge, and repeating the prayer for this reason is an innovation (bidʿah) and an act of extremism (tanattuʿ).
