Is there a Hadith that supports making any Du’aa in Arabic while in Sajda during Salaat (in addition to reciting “Subhana Rabbi’al Aala”)? After reciting Attahayyat, and Durood-e-Ibraheem during Salaat, what Dua should be recited? At this point can we say other Dua of our choice? While praying in a congregation, if we have finished reciting the Attahayyat and Durood-e-Ibraheem, and are waiting for the Imam to say Salaam, can we recite any other Dua of our choice during this time. Can we also make Dua in other languages during Sajda or any other part of the Salaat?
According to the jurist of ‘hanafi fiqh’ it is recommended that people should recite nothing but ‘subhana rabi al ala’
in their ruku of mandatory prayers. However, in the supererogatory prayers they can make any supplication.

After reading the Durood Ibraahim it is recommended to read the same dua as was taught to Abubakar by the prophet peace be upon him, which was ‘allahuma inni zalamtu nafsi…’ otherwise people can also make other prayers in their last sitting of the prayer. But one thing that should be kept in mind is that those prayers ought to be either from the Koran or the Hadith. A person cannot use his own words to recite dua in prayers. In another words, the speech used in the prayers ought to be the Divine one and not the people’s speech. This rule should be applied even to the Arabic-speaking people as well. They can only make those dua that are mentioned in the Koran or the hadith and that is the answer to your second question.
