Supplication and Seeking Refuge at Verses of Mercy and Punishment in Prayer

The questioner:
The loss of the night, so I prefer the recitation in the obligatory and voluntary prayers when you read the verse about the Fire, you seek refuge in Allah from it.
The Shaykh:
No, it is not called that; this has not been reported.[Al-A'raf 7:204] and be silent, but what was reported regarding the voluntary prayer is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he passed a verse of mercy, would stop and ask for it, and when he passed a verse of punishment, would stop and seek refuge. This is in the voluntary prayer; as for the obligatory prayer, nothing of this has been established in it.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
What does that mean? This is not prescribed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do this before the congregation while people were listening; rather, he did it in the night prayer when he was praying alone. And it was not in the Tarawih; this has not been reported. This was the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the night prayer when he was praying alone, not in congregation. Yes.

Yes.
