What is the ruling of Islamic law on the persistence in reciting these supplications after the final Tashahhud in prayer? Are they considered innovations, especially when recited in the plural form with the intention of encompassing the family members: "Our Lord, we seek refuge in You from the torment of Hellfire, and we seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave, and we seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death, and we seek refuge in You from the evil of the trial of the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal). O Allah, You are the Forgiver, the Generous; You love forgiveness, so forgive us. O Allah, cure us, grant us well-being, and have mercy on us. Our Lord, suffice us with Your lawful provisions instead of Your unlawful ones, and enrich us by Your bounty, making us independent of anyone other than You, and settle our debts and enrich us from poverty"?
Supplicating after the Tashahhud and before the Tasleem is recommended, whether it is a prescribed supplication or not, though the prescribed one is better.
It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate for refuge from four things: the torment of Hell, the torment of the grave, the trials of life and death, and the evil of the Masih ad-Dajjal (Antichrist).
It is also recommended to supplicate using the plural form to include family and all Muslims, but the supplication "Our Lord, we seek refuge in You from the torment of the Fire" does not match the wording of the Hadith. The most complete approach is for a Muslim to begin with the reported supplications and then supplicate with whatever else they wish.
