The questioner:
What is the ruling on sending blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) immediately after the adhan via the microphone by the mu'adhdhin? Knowing that there are verses and hadiths that command us to do so, including the saying of Allah the Mighty and Majestic:[Al-Ahzab 33:56].

And likewise, reciting verses before the adhan and raising the voice with them, as is done in some cities, is among the bid'ah (religious innovations). The obligatory thing is to keep the adhan pure and perform the adhan alone, with nothing preceding it and nothing following it.
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated following the mu'adhdhin and commanded asking for the wasilah (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after the adhan, saying: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the wasilah and the virtue, and raise him to the honored position You have promised him, and do not break the promise."

As for the questioner's statement that Allah commanded us to send blessings, yes, Allah commanded us to do so, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not legislate this for us after the adhan. If this had been prescribed after the adhan, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified it. Establishing an act of worship for a specific time requires evidence from the one who stole, and this was not reported. He sent blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he was mentioned, and sent blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the khutbahs, and in the final tashahhud of the prayer, and one sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on every occasion, either as an obligation or as a recommendation, but restricting it to a specific time
