The ruling on saying "Bala" when reciting "Is not Allah the most just of judges?"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on saying "Bala" when the imam recites the words of Allah the Exalted,
Is not Allah the most just of judges?أليس الله بأحكم الحاكمين
[At-Tin 95:8]
, and raising one's voice with it so that one hears oneself and those around one?

Answer:
This is not permissible, because the hadith reported regarding it is not authentic. So he should not say anything. It is only reported when Allah the Exalted says:
Is not that [Creator] Able to give life to the dead?أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَىٰ أَن يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَىٰ
[Al-Qiyamah 75:40]
. It is established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Subhanak Allahumma, fa-bala" (Glory be to You, O Allah, yes). So it is only in this place where the evidence is authentic. As for the end of Surah al-Mumtahanah, no, this was not reported.
