What is the ruling on one who says "True is Allah, the Exalted" upon finishing the recitation of a surah from the Qur'an?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who says "True is Allah, the Exalted" upon finishing the recitation of a surah from the Qur'an? And is it to be refuted in one who says that?

Answer:
Yes, this is what was not transmitted, and it is not obligatory. This is something the people have innovated, and it is not obligatory. It is not among the manners of recitation that were transmitted. It is not said that "True is Allah, the Exalted" is to be said at the end of the Qur'an. This was not transmitted. Rather, this is something the people considered good and some of them imitated others in it. And the problem is that now the common people, or many of the common people, think that "True is Allah, the Exalted" is a verse from the Qur'an, and that whoever does not say it has left a verse from the Qur'an. Yes.
