If we say that supplication is permissible at verses of mercy and seeking refuge is permissible at verses of punishment, is the one who does so rewarded?

The Shaykh : Yes, according to our position that asking is permissible at verses of mercy and seeking refuge is permissible at verses of punishment, without it being a recommended practice in the obligatory prayer. Is the one who supplicates in it rewarded because supplication is recommended in general, and he has performed an act of worship here, and worship is something for which the servant is rewarded? Please inform us.
If we say that it is permissible, meaning there is no harm in it, meaning there is no harm in it, then it is not prohibited and it is not said to be a religious innovation, but it is not said to be a recommended practice as it is in voluntary prayers. We prevent saying that it is a recommended practice because those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention it. Otherwise, one might say: what is established in voluntary prayer is established in obligatory prayer unless there is evidence. The fact that those who described the prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention it indicates that he did not do it, but the imam did it, so there is no harm. Yes.

The questioner : Is he rewarded for it?

The Shaykh : He is rewarded for his intention, because supplication is worship. Say, if Allah wills.
