3864. It was narrated from Abu Na'āmah that 'Abdullāh bin Mughaffal heard his son say: "O Allāh, I ask You for the white palace on the right-hand side of Paradise, when I enter it." He said: "O my son, ask Allāh for Paradise and seek refuge with Him from Hell, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'There will be people who will transgress in supplication.'" (Sahih)
3864 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَهُ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْرَ الْأَبْيَضَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْجَنَّةِ، إِذَا دَخَلْتُهَا، فَقَالَ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ سَلِ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَعُذْ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ»

The greatness of Allāh and His respect should be considered during supplication. Whoever enters Paradise he will surely get whatever he wishes. Thus, mentioning the details of Paradise, during supplication, is not necessary. Asking for Firdaws Paradise (the most superior part of Paradise) or the neighborhood of the Prophet ﷺ, is correct since it is mentioned as a reward of some good deeds.
