Supplication in Nafl Prayer

Question

Does supplicating with something from the words of people (for worldly matters) in the Sunnah invalidate the prayer?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: Praying with the words of people invalidates the prayer, whether it is obligatory or voluntary, and God knows best.
