Is the supplication for completing the recitation of the Qur'an prescribed in the night prayer during Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : And is the supplication for completing the recitation of the Qur'an prescribed in the night prayer of Ramadan?

Answer : I do not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication in the night prayer of Ramadan, nor did any of the Companions. However, some scholars recommended it, relying on weak hadiths or reports from the Salaf, but these were not in the prayer. However, if you pray behind an imam who makes a supplication when completing the recitation of the Qur'an, you should not turn away from him; rather, follow him in that for the sake of unity, agreement, and avoiding disagreement. Look at the path of the imams (may Allah have mercy on them). Imam Ahmad explicitly stated that if a man completes the recitation and makes a qunut in the Fajr prayer, one should follow him and say "Ameen" to his supplication, even though Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) held that qunut in the Fajr prayer is not a recommended practice. But for the sake of unity and agreement, he held that a person should follow the imam. So I say, may Allah bless you, if you pray behind a person who makes a supplication when completing the recitation of the Qur'an in the night prayer of Ramadan, follow him and say "Ameen" to his supplication, and you will be in a good state due to following and not opposing.
