Assalamu alaykum,

Thank you for your question. You will find an excellent explanation of ‘the righteous servants of Allah ‘here in this video:

I remind myself and you and of the sunna dua that we should say when the one is giving the call to commence (iqama). When one says, “The prayer is commencing, “one replies, “May Allah establish it and make it endure as long as the heavens and earth, and make me one of the righteous of its folk.“

أَقامَها اللهُ وَأدمَها ما دامَتِ السَّماواتُ والأرْض وجَعَلَني مِن صاِحي أَهلِها.

May Allah give you the best of this world and the next and make us of the righteous.
