منظور از تسبیح خداوند در مواقع چهارگانه

در این که منظور از تسبیح خداوند در مواقع چهارگانه ( قبل از طلوع آفتاب» قبل از غروب» در شب و بعد از سجده‌ها) چیست» در میان مفسران گفت‌وگو بسیار است. برخی از مفسران بزرگ گفته‌اند: تسبیح پیش از طلوع آفتاب را می‌توان با نماز صبح منطبق کرد؛ یعنی مراد از آن نماز صبح است. تسبیح قبل از غروب را می‌توان با نماز عصر یا ظهر و عصر منطبق کرد و تسبیح در بخشی از شب را با نمازهای مغرب و عشاء و گویا منظور از تسبیح بعد از سجده‌هاء ذکر تسبیح بعد از نمازهاست؛ چون سجده در آخر هر رکعت از نماز است و تعقیبات نمازهای پنجگانه پس از آن انجام می‌شود.
