On the phrase "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty"

Q: I often hear that saying "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" at the end of reciting the Noble Qur'an is a religious innovation. Some people told me that it is permissible, and they cited the saying of the Exalted: [Al-Imran: 95]. Some intellectuals also told me: Did not the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he wanted to stop the reciter, say "Enough for you" and not say "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty"? My question is: Is it permissible to say "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" at the end of reciting the Noble Qur'an? I ask you to please elaborate on this.

A: The custom of people saying "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" at the end of reciting the Noble Qur'an has no basis that we know of, and it should not be made a habit. Rather, according to the legal principle, it is a religious innovation if one believes it is a recommended practice. One should abandon it and not make it a habit.
As for the verse: , it is not about this matter. Rather, Allah commanded him to make clear to them the truth of Allah in what He revealed in His great books, such as the Torah and others, and that He is truthful in what He revealed to His servants in the Torah, the Gospel, and the other revealed books.
Likewise, He is truthful, Glorified and Exalted is He, in what He revealed to His servants in His great book, the Qur'an. However, this is not evidence that it is recommended to say this after reciting the Qur'an, or after reciting verses, or after reciting a chapter. This is not established or known from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
When Ibn Mas'ud recited to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the beginning of the chapter of Al-Nisa until he reached the saying of the Exalted: [Al-Nisa: 41], the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Ibn Mas'ud said: "I turned to him and saw his eyes overflowing with tears, peace and blessings be upon him." That is, he was weeping when he remembered this great station on the Day of Resurrection, which is mentioned in this great verse, namely the saying of the Exalted: meaning: O Muhammad, meaning: over his Ummah, peace and blessings be upon him.
The point is that adding the phrase "Truthful is Allah, the Mighty" at the end of the recitation has no basis in the Shari'ah. The prescribed course is to leave it out, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions . However, if a person does it occasionally without intending to make it a habit, it does no harm, for Allah is truthful in everything . But making it a habit after every recitation, as many people do today, has no basis, as mentioned above.
