Reciting Qur'anic supplications in prostration

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. What is the ruling on the supplications found in the Noble Qur'an? For example, His saying, the Exalted: "Our Lord, forgive me for what I have done of wrong…"
and You are the best of providers."وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:114]
and His saying, the Exalted:
My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendantsرَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي
[Ibrahim 14:40]
when they are recited in prostration. Does this conflict with what is reported in the noble hadith? I mean that reciting the Qur'an in prostration is not permissible, or are such supplications found in the Noble Qur'an permissible when recited in prostration?

Answer:
It depends on the intention. If his intention is supplication, there is no harm. But if his intention is recitation, it is not permissible in bowing or in prostration.
