Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Waqiah verse 96 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 88 which provides the complete commentary from verse 88 through 96.

(56:96) So glorify the name of your Great Lord.[42]

Ala-Maududi

(56:96) So glorify the name of your Great Lord.[42]


42. Uqbah bin Amir Juhni relates that when this verse was sent down the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded that the people put it in their ruku, i.e. they should recite Subhana-Rabbi-yal-Azim in the position of ruku in the Prayer. And when the verse Sabbi-hismi-Rabbi-kal-Aala was sent down, he enjoined that they put it in their sajdah, i.e. they should recite Subhana-Rabbi-yal-Aala in sajdah. (Musnad Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban, Hakim). This show that even the most minor details of the procedure enjoined by the Prophet (peace be upon him) for the Prayer are derived from the allusions given in the Quran.

(96) So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
