There is no basis for adding "the high rank" and "You do not break Your promise" to the supplication after the adhan (O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the intercession and the high rank)

The Shaykh : I remind you of another issue. Many people, when they hear the adhan, say what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the intercession and the high rank", but they add from themselves "the high rank."

We are commanded to follow everything he (peace and blessings be upon him) said and did. This is a reminder, and the reminder benefits the believers, if Allah wills.

The Shaykh : May Allah will it
The student: The first question says:
