The questioner : Do you say, O Shaykh, that a person should not say "Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent" at the end of the recitation?
The Shaykh : Yes, this indicates that one should not say "Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent" at the end of the recitation. This phrase is an innovation; the people did not used to do that, but it was innovated, as far as I know, by later reciters. Therefore, a person should not say it, for it is a religious innovation (bid'ah).

There is no harm in a person saying "Truthful is Allah" when he sees something that the Qur'an testifies to, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Truthful is Allah" [Al-Anfal 8:28] when he carried his two grandsons, meaning his daughter's sons, al-Hasan and al-Husayn.
