The ruling on repeating the supplications of the prophets from the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person selects some supplications from the Qur'an and constantly repeats them to himself, and these supplications may belong to some of the prophets, but they do not contain anything specific to the prophets, should he do this? And is it better for him to supplicate with the supplications of the Qur'an?

Answer:
This is good, this is good, except that he should not ask for the rank of the prophets or request that Allah make him a prophet or a messenger. No, rather he should ask for the supplications that pertain to him, such as asking for provision or asking for offspring,
My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspringرَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً
[Ali 'Imran 3:38]
as Zakariyya (peace be upon him) supplicated,
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
[As-Saffat 37:100]
as Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated. So he asks for the matters that are suitable for him, even if the prophets had asked for them; indeed, this is better, following the prophets. As for the matters that are not suitable for you, that is transgression in supplication. Yes.
