Overview
Three surahs include ص in their initials. The claim adds the letter across all three.
Why it is investigated
Sad is the only single initial shared by three surahs.
Original proposed pattern
ص in 7 + 19 + 38 = 152 = 19 × 8
“The total occurrence of the letter "S" (Saad) in these three suras is 152, 19x8.” — Rashad Khalifa
Expected result
152
Counting methodology
Count ص in every verse of surahs 7, 19 and 38.
Methodology sensitivity
Khalifa notes 7:69 'Bastatan' is written with a Saad in some printings; the count depends on which spelling is used.

A number divisible by 19 is an arithmetic fact about a count. It is not, by itself, theological proof.
