Neither the Prophet (peace be upon him), the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the other Sahabah (Companions, may Allah be pleased with them), or the Imams of the Salaf (righteous predecessors, may Allah be merciful to them) ever said this, even though they recited the Qur’an regularly, cared about it, and were knowledgeable of its rules. Therefore, saying these words regularly after finishing reading the Qur’an is Bid‘ah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) is authentically reported to have said,
“Whoever introduces anything into this matter of ours (Islam) that is not part of it, will have it rejected.”
(Related by
Al-Bukhari
and Muslim).
He also said,
“Whoever does an action which is not in accordance with this matter of ours (Islam), will have it rejected.”
(Related by
Muslim)
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!
