Is bowing (ruku') one of the places for supplication in prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is bowing (ruku') one of the places for supplication in prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is a place for supplication, but prostration (sujud) is more emphatic for supplication and more likely to be answered, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified and encouraged. Otherwise, as you heard, he would say in bowing: "O Allah, forgive me."
