The questioner : What is the ruling on making du'a' in ruku' during prayer, such as saying O Allah [Al-Baqarah 2:201] and also O Allah [Ibrahim 14:41]?
The Shaykh : Yes. Making du'a' in ruku' with what has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is permissible. Indeed, he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently say in his ruku' and sujud:Sahih al-Bukhari 4293 As for anything other than that, it is better to restrict oneself to glorifying Allah in ruku' and to make du'a' in sujud, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 2:179.

Subhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli
سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك، اللهم اغفر لي"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."
