Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to say between the two prostrations: "My Lord, forgive me; my Lord, forgive me!"
Sahih/Authentic. - [Abu Dawood]

Explanation

Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to say while sitting between the two prostrations: "My Lord, forgive me; my Lord, forgive me!" He would repeat it. This informs us of the dhikr to be said between the two prostrations, in all prayers, obligatory and supererogatory, and audible and inaudible.
