Is there a supplication called "Du'a al-Hawa'ij" (Supplication of Needs), and is it permissible to supplicate with it, knowing that its wording is as follows: "O Allah, O ultimate goal of needs..." to the end of the mentioned supplication?

This supplication is attributed to Ali on some websites, but it has no chain of narration or reference in the books of the Sunnah. Scholars permit supplicating with any wording. However, individual prostration is not known in Islamic law except for the prostrations of recitation (Tilawah) and gratitude (Shukr). Whoever innovates another prostration has introduced an innovation, and his action is rejected, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it is rejected."
