What is the ruling on some of those who grant licenses in recitation saying in their chains of narration: from the Messenger of Allah, from Jibril, from the Preserved Tablet, from Allah?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of those who grant licenses in recitation, when listing their chains of narration, say at the end of the chain: from the Messenger of Allah, from Jibril, from the Preserved Tablet, from the Lord of Majesty (Glorified and Exalted is He). Is this correct?

The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah. From the Preserved Tablet? No, this is invalid. This is the statement of the Asha'irah. This is the statement of the Asha'irah. So we say: from Allah. We do not say: from the Preserved Tablet. We say: from Allah. Yes, the Qur'an is written in the Preserved Tablet, but Jibril does not transmit from the Preserved Tablet; rather, he transmits from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable.

The Shaykh:
It is the statement of the Asha'irah. The Shaykh, His Eminence the Mufti, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), has a treatise titled *Al-Jawab al-Wadhih al-Mustaqim fi Kayfiyyat Nuzul al-Qur'an al-'Azhim* (The Clear and Straight Answer Regarding the Manner of the Descent of the Great Qur'an), which refutes this claim that Jibril takes it from the Preserved Tablet. It refutes this claim. Yes. It is found in his collected fatwas and is also available as a standalone work. Yes.
