Does the verse “And they said, ‘Allah has not sent down anything’” imply that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah and that Allah is in the sky?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it understood from the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,[Al-Mulk 67:9] that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, uncreated, and that Allah is in the sky? Is this taken from the verse?
The Shaykh:
Without a doubt, this is derived from the verse by a fortiori argument, because descent does not occur except from above, and the Qur'an was sent down from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The Qur'an is from Allah; it is the speech of Allah. Yes.

The Shaykh:
The messengers only say to their nations, “Allah has sent down to us such and such.” They lie to us, saying, “No, Allah has not sent down anything to you.” Yes.
