As an Imam, is it permissible to recite the Masnoon Dua between Sajdah in Salaah?
Question
As an Imam, is it permissible to recite the Masnoon Dua between Sajdah in Salah?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The Imam should consider the people performing Salah behind him. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ، فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ مِنْهُمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالكَبِيرَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلْيُطَوِّلْ مَا شَاءَ
Translation: Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu Anhu) narrated: the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "If anyone of you leads the people in the prayer, he should shorten it for amongst them are the weak, the sick and the old; and if anyone among your prays alone then he may prolong (the prayer) as much as he wishes. " (Sahih Al-Bukhari-703)[1]
If the Imam is certain that by reading the Masnoon Duas between the Sajdahs, that will not be difficult upon the Musalis, then he may read the Duas.[2]
However, if the Imam reads the Duas and that is difficult upon the followers, then he should refrain from reciting the Duas.
The Dua to recite between the two Sajdahs is the following:
اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَارْحَمْنِيْ وَعَافِنِيْ وَاهْدِنِيْ وَارْزُقْنِيْ وَاجْبُرْنِيْ وَارْفَعْنِي
Translation: O Allah! Forgive me! Have mercy on me, grant me wellbeing, guide me, grant me subsistence, repair my losses, and grant me a high position. (Hisnul Hasin p. 107)
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

صحيح البخاري (1/ 142)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِلنَّاسِ، فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ مِنْهُمُ الضَّعِيفَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالكَبِيرَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلْيُطَوِّلْ مَا شَاءَ»
سنن الترمذي (ط ناشرون) (ص: 307)
حَدثنا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ, قَالَ: حَدثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ, عَنْ كَامِلٍ أَبِي العَلاَءِ, عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ, عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ, عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ, أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلى الله عَليه وسَلم كَانَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ: اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي, وَارْحَمْنِي, وَاجْبُرْنِي, وَاهْدِنِي, وَارْزُقْنِي

اور جلسہ میں دعاء پڑھنا بہتر ہے اگر مقتدیوں پر شاق نہ ہو ورنہ ترک اولیٰ ہے- دعاء جو حدیث سے ثابت ہے وہ یہ ہے: اللہم اغفر لی وارحمنی واجبرنی واھدنی وارزقنی- یا مختصر پڑھ لے جیسے اللہم اغفرلی
