Saying between the twoprostrations: Rabb ighfir li wa li waalidayya (Lord forgive me and my parents)

What is the ruling on saying "Rabb ighfir li wali waalidaya (Lord
forgive me and my parents)" when sitting between the two prostrations?
Is that permissible?.
Praise be to Allaah.
You should adhere to what was narrated of the du'aa' of the
Prophet(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) between the two
prostrations, which is to say, "Rabb ighfir li (Lord forgive me)", as
it was narrated by an-Nasaa'i (1145) and Ibn Maajah (897) from
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say between the two
prostrations: "Rabb ighfir li, Rabb ighfir li (Lord forgive me, Lord
forgive me)."
It is proven that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) also used to say between the two prostrations: "Allaahumma ighfir
li warhamni wajburni warfa'ni wahdini wa 'aafini warzuqni (O Allaah,
forgive me, have mercy on me, console me, raise me in status, guide
me, grant me well being and grant me provision)."
At-Tirmidhi (284) narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used
to say between the two prostrations: "Allaahumma ighfir li warhamni
wajburni wahdini warzuqni (O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy on me,
console me, guide me, and grantme provision)."
Abu Dawood (850) narrated it as follows: "Allaahumma ighfir li
warhamni wa 'aafini wahdini warzuqni (O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy
on me, grant me well being, guide me and grant me provision)."
Ibn Maajah (898) narrated it as follows: "Rabb ighfir li
warhamniwajburni warzuqni warfa'ni (O Lord, forgive me, have mercy on
me, console me, grant me provision and raise me in status).
This hadeeth was classedas saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo' (3/414):
With regard to the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas, it was narrated by Abu
Dawood, at-Tirmidhi andothers with a jayyid isnaad. It was narrated by
al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak and he said: Its isnaad is saheeh.He quoted
the different versions then he said: Tobe on the safe side, the best
option is to combine all the reports and say all the phrases
mentioned, of which there are seven: "Allaahumma ighfir li warhamni wa
'aafini wajburni warfa'ni wahdini warzuqni (O Allaah, forgive me, have
mercy on me, grant me well being, console me, raise me in status,
guide me and grant me provision)." End quote.
With regard to adding tothis du'aa', what appears to be the case is
that it is permissible, butit is preferable to keep to what has been
narrated and to offer du'aa' for one's parents in prostration or
before saying the salaam at the end of the prayer. Muslim (479)
narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"…as for prostrating, strive in du'aa', for it is deservingof a
response (from yourLord)."
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then he should
rise from prostration, saying "Allahu akbar (Allah is most great),"
and sit muftarishan, which means sitting on the left foot and holding
the right foot upright, placing his right hand on his right thigh or
on his knee, extending his fingers over his knee, and placing his left
handon his left thigh or his left knee, extending his fingers over it.
This is theSunnah. And he should say: "Rabb ighfir li, Rabb ighfir li,
Rabb ighfir li (Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me), as
the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to do.
And it is mustahabb to say in addition to that: Allahumma ighfir li
warhamni wahdini wajburni warzuqni wa 'aafini (O Allah, forgive me,
have mercy on me, guide me, console me, grant me provision and grant
me well being), because that is proven from the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him). And if he says more than that, there is
nothing wrong with it, such as if he says, "Allahumma ighfir li wa li
waalidayya(O Allah, forgive me and my parents)" or "Allaahumma
adkhilni al-Jannah wa anjini min an-naar (O Allah, admit me to
Paradise and save me from Hell)" or "Allaahumma aslih qalbi wa 'amali
(O Allah, make my heart and my actions righteous) and so on. But he
should ask a great deal for forgiveness between thetwo prostrations,
as was narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him).
End quote from Fataawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Baaz, 11/36
And Allah knows best.
