Reciting "Rabbigh fir lee" between the two sajdahs

Q: When we sit between the two prostations, is it mandatory to say rabbigh firlee or is it just recommened? Kindly tell me the Hanafi view regarding this and if possible please also tell me what the Maaliki, etc. say. I came to know that it is mandatory to say this and salaah is not valid without this.

A: It is recommended, mustahab.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
