After uttering Mu'adhdhin Tashahhud (i.e. Ashhadu Anna Muhammadar ...) the listeners will say this dhikr -
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولًا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا
اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لَّا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهٗ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهٗ وَاَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهٗ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ، رَضِيْتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا وَّبِمُحَمَّدٍ رَّسُوْلًا وَّبِالْاِسْلَامِ دِيْنًا
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allahu wa'hdahu laa shareeka lahu wa anna mu'hammadan ‛abduhu wa rasooluhu, radeetu billaahi rabban wa bimu'hammadin rasoolan wa bil -islaami deen-an
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger (ﷺ). I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, and Muhammad as a Messenger and Islam as a religion.
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever hears Mu'adhzin and utters these words, all his sins will be forgiven."

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اَللَّهُمَّ بَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلٰى اٰلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ، اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ، اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلٰى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلٰى اٰلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ، اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَجِيْدٌ
Allaahumma salli 'alaa Mu'hammadin wa 'alaa 'aali Mu'hammadin, kamaa sallayta 'alaa 'Ibraaheema wa 'alaa 'aali 'Ibraaheema, 'innaka Hameedun Majeed. Allaahumma baarik 'alaa Mu'hammadin wa 'alaa 'aali Mu'hammadin, kamaa baarakta 'alaa 'Ibraaheema wa 'alaa 'aali 'Ibraaheema, 'innaka Hameedun Majeed
O Allah, bestow Your favor on Muhammad (ﷺ) and on the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) as You have bestowed Your favor on Ibrahim (Ah) and on the family of Ibrahim (Ah), You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad (ﷺ) and the family of Muhammad (ﷺ) as You have blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim (Ah), You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.
Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When you hear the Mu'adhdhin, repeat what he says, then invoke a blessing on me, for everyone who invokes a blessing on me will receive ten blessings from Allah; then beg from Allah al-Wasila for me, which is a rank in Paradise fitting for only one of Allah's servants, and I hope that I may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be given the Wasila, he will be assured of my intercession.
