The phrase said when the iqamah is called, "Aqamat-ha": (May Allah establish it and make it lasting)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: When the iqamah is called, the imam of the mosque stands in the mihrab and says: (May Allah establish it and make it lasting, O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established prayer, grant Muhammad the intercession and the high rank, and raise him to the praiseworthy station that You promised him, for You do not break Your promise). Is this a transmitted supplication? Or is there another one? Or is this the best?

A: This supplication is said in the adhan: When the mu'adhdhin finishes the adhan, he sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and says:
O Allah, the Lord of this complete call and of this prayer, which is going to be established! Give Muhammad Al-Wasila and Al-Fadila and raise him to Al-Maqam-al-Mahmud which You have promised himاللهم رب هذه الدعوة التامة والصلاة القائمة، آت محمدا الوسيلة والفضيلة، وابعثه مقاماً محمودا الذي وعدته
Sahih al-Bukhari 4719
This is how the hadith came from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as narrated by al-Bukhari in his Sahih from Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both). Likewise, the one who is not the mu'adhdhin but hears the adhan says this; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he saysإذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول
Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam)
It is agreed upon that it is authentic. And if he adds:
You do not break Your promiseإنك لا تخلف الميعاد
Muwatta Malik 20:132
it is correct, because it is established from the narration of al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him). And likewise, it is said after the iqamah, because it is the second adhan, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayerبين كل أذانين صلاة، بين كل أذانين صلاة
Sunan Abi Dawud 1283Sahih (Al-Albani)
.
As for the phrase: (May Allah establish it and make it lasting), a weak hadith has come regarding it, and it is better to say: (The prayer has been established) like the mu'adhdhin: (The prayer has been established, the prayer has been established) instead of: (May Allah establish it and make it lasting); because the phrase: (May Allah establish it and make it lasting) is not established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but rather one should say what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When you hear the Mu'adhdhin then say what he saysإذا سمعتم المؤذن فقولوا مثل ما يقول
Sunan an-Nasa'i 678Sahih (Darussalam)
meaning: he says: (The prayer has been established, the prayer has been established). And in the adhan of Fajr, when he says: (Prayer is better than sleep), he says: (Prayer is better than sleep) similarly. As for (Hasten to the prayer, hasten to success), he says: (There is no power and no strength except with Allah); because a report is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to say at (Hasten to the prayer):
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahلا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Sunan Ibn Majah 3885Da'if (Darussalam)
and at (Hasten to success) he says:
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahلا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Sunan Ibn Majah 3885Da'if (Darussalam)
narrated by Muslim from the hadith of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
