Arabic hadith text
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {وَلاَ تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاَتِكَ وَلاَ تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً} فِي الدُّعَاءِ . قَالَ يَحْيَى وَسُئِلَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَقَالَ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالدُّعَاءِ فِيهَا .

Yahya said that Malikwas asked about making dua in obligatory prayers and he said, "Thereis no harm in making dua in them."
