Adding the word (Exalted) in the greeting for prayer

Question
Once I greeted and said: Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah Exalted and His blessings, and someone told me: Do not say 'Exalted', is this correct?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is preferable not to utter this; due to its lack of prominence in the formula of peace in prayer, and God knows best.
