The specific prayer to be recited between the two prostrations is 'Rabbi ighfir li, Rabbi ighfir li' (My Lord, forgive me, My Lord, forgive me). Alternatively, one can say 'Rabbi ighfir li warhamni warfa'ni warzuqni wajburni wahdini wa 'afini' (My Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, elevate me, provide for me, console me, guide me, and grant me well-being).
The sitting posture between the two prostrations is a fundamental pillar (rukn) of prayer. It is essential to sit with tranquility and not rush into the second prostration immediately after rising from the first, as this invalidates the prayer.
The dua should be recited after rising from the first prostration and sitting with tranquility, before performing the second prostration. This sitting is a distinct part of the prayer, and the dua is said during this sitting.
