The answer

The word "Ta'ala" (Exalted be He) is not present in the Prophetic tradition "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh" (Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings). A Muslim should omit it and restrict themselves to what has been reported in the Sunnah. Continuously using it would make it seem like a Sunnah, yet it was not reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, there is no harm in doing it occasionally.
