The questioner : Is it permissible to supplicate in prostration with verses from the Noble Qur'an, for example: [Ali 'Imran 3:8] [Ali 'Imran 3:16]?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a person in the state of prostration to supplicate with the supplications of the Noble Qur'an if he intends supplication rather than recitation. However, if he intends recitation, that is not permissible, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Bulugh al-Maram 2:179 Therefore, it is not permissible for a person to recite anything from the Qur'an while bowing or prostrating, unless the verses contain supplication and he intends it as supplication. For example, if this person were to recite a verse as a recitation of the Qur'an, it would be forbidden for him, but if he recited it as a supplication, it would be permissible. Yes.

رَبَّنَا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُOur Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire,"
رَبَّنَا إِنَّنَا ءامَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِThe Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a person in the state of prostration to supplicate with the supplications of the Noble Qur'an if he intends supplication rather than recitation. However, if he intends recitation, that is not permissible, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an while bowing or prostrating; so while in the bowing (position) glorify (the Perfection of) the Rabb (Lord), and while in the prostrating (position) be earnest in supplication, for it is fitting that your supplications may be answered.
