Narrated by Aisha (Radhi Allah Anha): Sometimes the Prophet(Sallellahu Alaihi Wasallam) prolongs his recitation and offers a few very long units of prayer. On other nights, he stands in recitation for a shorter time and offers more units of prayer. When he bows, he remains bowing for a long time, almost as long as the time he spends standing in recitation. He (Sallellahu Alaihi Wasallam) says: “O Allah! I bow to You. In You I believe, to You I submit, and upon You I rely. You are my Lord. My hearing, my sight, my flesh, my blood, my mind, my bones, my sinew, and what my feet bear up, all of it submits in humility to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. Glory be to the Possessor of Might, Pride, and Greatness, the Glorified and Holy, the Lord of the angels and of the Holy Spirit.” Near the end of his life, he will often say while bowing and prostrating: “Glory and praise be to Allah, our Lord. O Allah, forgive me.” -[Muslim]
