Amalan Membaca Rabbighfirli Selepas Bacaan Al-Fatihah Di Dalam Solat
Is reciting Rabbighfirli after al-Fatihah in prayer recommended?
Short answer
The practice comes from a hadith narrated by Wail bin Hujr in al-Bayhaqi's al-Sunan al-Kubra, but al-Dhahabi graded it weak because it is munkar.

Summary
The practice comes from a hadith narrated by Wail bin Hujr in al-Bayhaqi's al-Sunan al-Kubra, but al-Dhahabi graded it weak because it is munkar. Ibn Rajab stated that it is not recommended to recite another supplication before saying amin, since amin affirms the supplication within al-Fatihah. Other supplications are still permissible in prayer, but are best made at the recommended places such as during prostration and before the closing salam.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Namun begitu, hadis ini dinilai dhaif oleh al-Imam al-Zahabi kerana munkar.
