The author's statement: Does supplicating for matters of this world in prayer invalidate it? Does this contradict the hadith (then let him choose from the supplication what he wishes)?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that prayer is invalidated by supplicating for a matter of this world. So how do you reconcile this with what was reported in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) where he said:

Then let him choose from the supplication what

ثم ليتخير من الدعاء ما

Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:238

wishes

Answer:
That is, from among the matters of this world and religion. As for what He wills from the matters of this world only, this is not...

Whoever desires the life of this world and its adornments

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا

[Hud 11:15]

You know the verse, and among them is the one who says, "And among them is the one who..."

is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ

[Al-Baqarah 2:200]

no share. ⁽²⁰¹⁾ But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." ⁽²⁰²⁾ Those will have a share of what they have earned

مِنْ خَلَاقٍ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوا

[Al-Baqarah 2:200-202]
