Is it correct to say "True is the Mighty Allah" after reciting the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it correct for me to say "True is the Mighty Allah" after I recite the Qur'an?

Answer:
This has not been transmitted. We do not say anything except what has been transmitted, and it has not been transmitted that recitation is concluded by saying "True is the Mighty Allah." What has been transmitted is that recitation begins with seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan
So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].فَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
[An-Nahl 16:98]
, and also that the surah begins with "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate." This is recommended, except for Surat al-Baqarah, which does not begin with "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate." It is also recommended to recite the Qur'an in a state of ritual purity. If one is reciting from memory, that is fine; if one is reciting from the mushaf, he must perform wudu' to touch the mushaf. Among the etiquettes of reciting the Qur'an are the presence of the heart and reflection upon the Qur'an. These are the etiquettes of recitation, and it is not among them—neither in a narration nor in the words of the scholars—that one concludes it with "True is the Mighty Allah." Rather, this is a custom that people have followed, and there is no evidence for it. Yes.
