The question of seeking mercy and seeking refuge in Allah at verses of mercy and warning in the obligatory prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that what is authentic in the voluntary prayer is also valid in the obligatory prayer unless there is evidence to the contrary. So, when the imam recites a verse of mercy, does he seek mercy, and when he recites a verse of warning, does he seek refuge in Allah, if it is in the obligatory prayer, because this is established in the voluntary prayer?

Answer:
There is a distinction here, because it is reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this in the voluntary prayer and did not do it in the obligatory prayer. So we do not do it in the obligatory prayer, because there is a difference in the actions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
