The Recommended Supplication in the Prostration of the Obligatory Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the recommended supplication during the prostration of the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
The recommended supplication is as it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
O Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله دقه وجله واوله واخره وعلانيته وسره
Sahih Muslim 483
. O Allah,
faghfirli ma qaddamtu wa ma akh-khartu, wa ma asrartu, wa ma a'lantu. Anta al-muqaddimu, wa anta al-mu-'akhkhiru. La ilaha il-la antaاغفر لي ما قدمت وما اخرت وما اسررت وما اعلنت. انت المقدم وانت المؤخر. لا اله الا انت
Sahih al-Bukhari 6317
. And so on, from what was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
As for prostration, increase in it your supplication, for it is likely that it will be answered for you.وأما السجود فأكثروا فيه من الدعاء فقمنوا أن يستجاب لكم
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا من الدعاء
Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani)
So one supplicates with whatever is easy for him. It is obligatory that he does not supplicate except with something reported from the Messenger, rather, he supplicates with what does not contradict what was reported from the Messenger. Yes.
