Question: Is it an inconvenience to alter the âyat “Subhâna Rabbika …” as “Subhâna Rabbinâ …” and say it so with an intention to make du’â [supplication]?
ANSWER
Even though it is written in some religious books that it is better to change this âyat and say “Rabbinâ” instead of “Rabbika” when making du’â, the rule in dependable books is as follows:
Hadrat Qâdî Baydâwî, with whom the savants of tafsîr crown themselves, quoted Hadrat ‘Alî “radiy-Allahu ‘anh” as saying: “He who wants to earn thawâb in large amounts in the Hereafter should say the âyat “Subhâna Rabbika …” up to the end following any gathering.” In other tafsîr books, e.g. in Mawâkib, it is written likewise.
It is declared in several hadîth-i sharîfs:
(He who wants to earn thawâb in large amounts in the Hereafter should say the âyat-i karîma “Subhâna Rabbika …” upon leaving a gathering.) [Ibni Hibbân]
(If a person says the âyat-i karîma “Subhâna Rabbika …” three times after namâz, he attains thawâb in sufficient amount.) [Tabarânî]
Abû Sa’id al-Khudrî “radiy-Allahu ‘anh” declares that Rasûlullah “alaihis-salâm” would recite “Subhâna Rabbika Rab-bil ‘Izzati …” three times after making the salâm in namâz. (Abû Ya’la) (Khatîb-i Baghdâdî)
Hadrat Abû Sa’id al-Khudrî further states, “When Rasûlullah “sall-Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam” was verging on making the salâm in namâz, he would recite the âyat “Subhâna Rabbika … .” (Ibni Abî Shayba)
‘Abdullah Ibni Abbâs “radiy-Allahu ‘anhumâ” reports: “Rasûlullah would recite the âyat ‘Subhâna rabbika …’ before saying the salâm in namâz.” (Tabarânî)
