Using the Plural Instead of the Singular in a Transmitted Supplication

Question

In the hadiths, some supplications use the first-person singular form. Is it correct to use the first-person plural form in collective supplications — for example, “ihdina” (اهْدِنَا, “guide us”) in place of “ihdini” (اهْدِنِي, “guide me”)?

Answer

It is correct.
