The ruling on reciting verses in the Friday prayer that correspond to the topic of the sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: Shaykh, we find that some preachers, when they finish their sermon and enter the prayer, recite verses related to the topic of the sermon, knowing that this action is repeated with every sermon. What is the ruling?

Answer:
This is an innovation. The one who prays the Friday prayer recites as it was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to
He recites Surat al-Jumu'ahيقرأ بسورة الجمعة
and Surat al-Munafiqun, or he would recite
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
[Al-A'la 87:1]
and
Has there reached you the report of the Overwhelming [event]?هَلْ أَتَاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغَاشِيَةِ
[Al-Ghashiyah 88:1]
. This is the sunnah (recommended practice). If they do less than the sunnah, that is fine, but they do not recite verses that correspond to the topic of the sermon. The verses that correspond to the topic of the sermon are mentioned during the sermon, because the sermon must necessarily include something from the Qur'an that is appropriate to the topic of the sermon, reminding the people of it. This is the sunnah. Yes.
