Are there two narrations for the hadith of the angels' glorification, one being "Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbul Mala'ikati war-Ruh" (Glorified, Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit), and the other "Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbuna Rabbul Mala'ikati war-Ruh" (Glorified, Most Holy, Our Lord, Lord of the angels and the Spirit), and which of them is more correct and to be recited in rukoo' and sujood?

This was narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, and others, and its wording is: From Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say in his bowing (ruku’) and prostration (): "Subbuh, Quddus, Rabb al-Mala'ikati wa ar-Ruh (Glorified, Most Holy, Lord of the angels and the Spirit)." As for the addition of the word "(Rabbana) Our Lord," it has not been reported in any of the authenticated books.
