Is it necessary to make abundant supplication along with my daily supplication for one or two minutes before the Fajr Adhan, citing the verse "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity" and the Hadith "A little but continuous deed is better than a lot but interrupted deed"?

Supplication (Du'a) is originally commendable, and it may sometimes be obligatory, such as the supplication in Surat Al-Fatihah during prayer, in the funeral prayer, and according to some jurists, during the Friday sermon. Excessive supplication is not obligatory, but whoever increases it is upon great good. The phrase "a little that is continuous..." is not a hadith, and perhaps it is derived from the hadith: "The most beloved deeds to Allah are those which are most constant, even if they are few."
