The ruling on supplicating with the words of the Qur'an a specific number of times in specific places

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on supplicating with the words of the Noble Qur'an in designated places and with a specific number, such as asking for offspring by saying, “My Lord,
do not leave me aloneلَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا
[Al-Anbya 21:89]
” forty times in prostration, and when asking for provision, we say
Allah will give us of His bountyسَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:59]
, and when asking for healing, “My Lord, indeed I am afflicted with harm” seven times, and so on.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with supplicating with what corresponds to the words of the Qur'an, but specifying it as forty or ten requires evidence. The specification requires evidence. Designating it for prostration also requires evidence. One should supplicate generally in prostration and elsewhere without specification. Yes.
