Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed to conclude the sermon by reciting the words of Allah the Exalted:
Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conductإن الله يأمر بالعدل والإحسان
[An-Nahl 16:90]


Answer:
Yes, the first person to recite this verse in the sermon was 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, because it is a comprehensive verse. He chose it and recited it, and the practice has continued to this day, and praise be to Allah for the good.
