Among the important adhan azkar teachings is the recommendation to make dua in the interval between the adhan and the iqamah, a blessed time when supplications are hoped to be answered. The Prophet urged his companions to make the most of these moments.

ما يقال بين الأذان والإقامة
ما بين الأذان والإقامة فالدعاء عندئذٍ مرغّب فيه ومستحب.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "الدُّعَاءُ لَا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ".
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ الدُّعَاءُ لَا يُرَدُّ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ فَادْعُوا".

Meaning
The time between the call to prayer and the iqamah (the second call marking the start of prayer) is a moment when supplication is especially encouraged. The Prophet Muhammad taught that dua made in this interval is not turned away, urging believers to make the most of it by asking Allah for whatever they need, in this world and the next.
When to recite
This time falls after the adhan ends and before the iqamah begins the prayer, usually a short window best used for making dua.
