Saying "Truthful is Allah the Exalted" at the end of recitation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When beginning the recitation of the Qur'an, one says "I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan"
in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
[An-Nahl 16:98]
. So, at the end of it, is it said "Truthful is Allah the Exalted"?

Answer:
No, this has not been transmitted. This is what has been transmitted. It has become common on the tongues of people and they have inherited it, but it has no basis and there is no evidence for it. It is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and it is not permissible; adhering to it is not permissible.
