Sunan Abi Dawud 876 (Book 2, Hadith 486) #21167
Supplications During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) taught that the best way to receive good news from prophethood is through a true dream, and he also taught that one should not recite the Quran while bowing or prostrating. Instead, one should exalt God in bowing and make supplications with exertion in prostration.

Ibn 'Abbas said: The Prophetﷺ lifted the curtain (and saw that) the people were standing in rows(of prayers) behind Abu Bakr. He said: O people, there remained nothing that gives good tidings from prophethood except a true dream which a Muslim has himself or which another Muslim has for him. I have been prohibited to recite the Qur’an while bowing or prostration. As regards owing, exalt the Lord in it, and as to prostration, make supplication with exertion in it, that is worthy of being accepted.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَشَفَ السِّتَارَةَ وَالنَّاسُ صُفُوفٌ خَلْفَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُسْلِمُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ وَإِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا الرَّبَّ فِيهِ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about prayer and how to properly perform it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that the best way to receive good news from prophethood is through a true dream, which can be experienced by either oneself or another Muslim. He also taught us not to recite the Quran while bowing or prostrating during prayer, but instead we should exalt God in our bowing and make supplications with exertion during prostration. This means that when we bow down for prayer, we should praise Allah for His greatness and when we prostrate ourselves for prayer, we should put forth effort into our supplication so it will be accepted by Allah. By doing this during our prayers, it will help us become closer to Allah as well as increase our faith in Him.
