Saying Dhikr of Rukū‘ instead of Dhikr of Prostration and vice versa

Question: Is it wrong to say the dhikrs of rukū‘ and prostration instead of each other?
Answer: If it is done inadvertently, there is no problem. Also, if he does so intentionally but with the intention of mentioning God (the Exalted) in general, the prayer is valid. However, he must also say the special dhikr of rukū‘ or prostration.
