The ruling on saying "Allah said, quoting His Prophet" when citing verses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some people, when citing verses from the Qur'an, say, "Allah said, quoting His Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him), 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord.'"
The Shaykh:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Allah quotes the speech of Nuh (peace be upon him), and He quotes the speech of Pharaoh, and He quotes extensively. Yes.
The questioner:
Likewise, may Allah preserve you, he says: And the saying of others, "Allah said on the tongue of His Prophet Nuh, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord,' and so on."
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it; it is a quote of the same thing. Yes.
