Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on limiting supplication in prayer? Limiting it to matters of this world only?
Answer:
This is not permissible; it invalidates the prayer. If one limits himself to seeking only worldly matters, this invalidates the prayer. And from this, you will be pleased by His saying:[Al-Mu'minun 23:33] and Allah bears witness. [Al-Baqarah 2:200]. [Al-Baqarah 2:201] If he seeks and supplicates for the benefits of his religion and his worldly life, that is good. But if he limits himself to the worldly life, this invalidates the prayer. Yes.

in the worldly life
فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَاAnd among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.
فَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَمَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍBut 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."
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
