Ruling on saying: (Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent) at the end of reciting the Qur'an

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

Answer: Many people have become accustomed to saying, "Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent," at the end of reciting the Noble Qur'an. This has no basis, and it should not be made a habit. Rather, according to the legal principle, it falls under the category of religious innovations (bid'ah) if the one saying it believes it is a recommended practice (sunnah). It should be abandoned and not made a habit because there is no evidence for it.
As for the saying of Allah the Exalted: , this is not relevant to this matter. Rather, He commanded him (may He be Exalted) to make clear to them the truthfulness 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 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 a chapter; because 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 Surah An-Nisa until he reached the saying of Allah the Exalted: [An-Nisa: 41], the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Ibn Mas'ud said: "So I turned to him and saw his eyes overflowing with tears, (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning he was weeping when he remembered this great station on the Day of Resurrection mentioned in the verse, which is the saying of the Most High: meaning, O Muhammad, meaning, upon his Ummah (community), (peace and blessings be upon him). No one among the scholars, to our knowledge, has reported from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, "Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent," after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: The point is that concluding the Qur'an with the reciter saying "Truthful is Allah, the Magnificent" has no basis in the pure Shari'ah. However, if a person does it occasionally for reasons that necessitate it, there is no harm in it.
