The answer

There is no specific supplication to be recited at the Maqam (Station of Abraham). Rather, one may supplicate for whatever good they desire in this world and the Hereafter, without specification. It is reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed two rak'ahs at the Maqam and recited: (And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer) [Quran 2:125]. He also said: "Whoever prays two rak'ahs behind the Maqam, Allah will forgive him his past and future sins, and he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment among the secure." It is recommended to recite (Say, "O disbelievers") [Quran 109:1] and (Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One") [Quran 112:1] in these two rak'ahs. Afterwards, one should supplicate for themselves, their parents, and the Muslims. The supplication "O Allah, I am Your servant and the son of Your servant, I have come to You with many sins..." is reported. The phrase "this is the station of one seeking refuge in You" refers to the supplicant himself, not the Maqam of Abraham. One should not be committed to this specific supplication lest it falls into innovation (bid'ah).
