(Book 15, Hadith 39) #35560
The Permissibility of Dua in Obligatory Prayers

SUMMARY: Making dua (supplication) in obligatory prayers is permissible and should be done in a moderate manner.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father said, "The following ayat was sent down about dua - 'And do not be loud in your prayer and do not be silent in it, but seek a way between these'. " (Sura 17 ayat 110) Yahya said that Malik was asked about making dua in obligatory prayers and he said, "There is no harm in making dua in them".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً‏}‏ فِي الدُّعَاءِ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالدُّعَاءِ فِيهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of making supplications or duas during obligatory prayers. It is narrated by Hisham ibn Urwa who quotes his father as saying that the following ayah was revealed about duas - “And do not be loud in your prayer and do not be silent in it, but seek a way between these” ( (17:110) Sura 17 ayah 110). Malik was asked about making duas during obligatory prayers and he said that there is no harm in doing so. This hadith teaches us to make our supplications to Allah with moderation and humility. We should neither be too loud nor too quiet when we make our duas but find a balance between the two extremes.
