When we pray we are supposed to bend down and recite “Subhana Rabbi Al’atheem” but I have not been reciting it in my past prayers though I did bend down. Do I have to repeat those prayers?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Salaam
In Rokou' when you bend down it is enough to repeat سُبْحانَ اللّهِ  (i.e. subḥānal lāh ) three times or say سُبْحانَ رَبِّیَ الْعَظیمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ (i.e. subḥāna rabbiyal ʿaẓīmi wa biḥamdih ) only once.

If you didn't know the ruling and just bowed down you don't need to repeat those prayers.
What should we do if we proceeded to Ruku before the Imam during Friday prayers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you proceed to Rukoo' before the Imam of Jama'ah or Jum'ah thinking that he is in Rukoo', you need to stand back and return to Rukoo' then follow the Imam. Your Salaah will be valid.

Wassalam.

in the mentioned case, you should go back in the standing position (qiyam) and continue to follow the Imam. 

With prayers for your success.
I understand that it is recommended to say the Dhikr of Sujood and Ruku more than once. But is it superior to say Subhanallah 3 times and then recite the Dhikr of Ruku, or just to recite the Dhikr of Ruku 3 times?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is recommended to say Subhanallah one time or more before Dhikr of Rokoo' and Dhikr of Sojood. If you say Subhanallah three times, it will be like saying Dhikr of Rokoo' or Sojood one time. Repeating Dhikr is recommended either three times or five or seven or nine or more odds.

Wassalam.
