مسبحة / سبحة Is there any difference between مسبحة and سبحة ? Do they both refer to the same object or each one is used for a specific purpose? Does the way they're called depend on the country?

Both refer to the same object. But مسبحة is a standard Arabic (Fus-ha), while سبحة is used only in slang Egyptian Arabic.
