The dua after the adhan
The supplication said at the end of the call to prayer, and the merit the hadith gives it.
After the adhan, you ask Allah, Lord of this perfect call and of the prayer about to be established, to grant the Prophet ﷺ al-wasilah and excellence, and to raise him to the praised station He promised him. This dua comes from Sahih al-Bukhari, with the promise of his intercession.

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلاَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّداً الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامَاً مَحمُوداً الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ
Allâhumma rabba hâdhihi d-da'wati t-tâmmah, wa s-salâti l-qâ'imah, âti Muhammadan l-wasîlata wa l-fadîlah, wa-b'ath-hu maqâman mahmûdan l-ladhî wa'adtah
O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and of the prayer about to be established, grant Muhammad al-wasilah and the highest degree, and raise him to the praised station You have promised him.
