Does the one who says that the Qur'an is an expression of Allah's speech become a disbeliever, like the one who says it is created?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: The one who says that the Qur'an is created is a disbeliever. He asks: Does the one who says that the Qur'an is an expression of Allah's speech become a disbeliever for that?

Answer:
Yes, indeed. This resembles the first statement. He says it is not the speech of Allah, but rather an expression of Allah's speech, expressed by Jibril, or expressed by Muhammad, or by all of them. All these statements are false. Whoever abandons the truth is afflicted with falsehood and fabrications. Say: It is the speech of Allah, and that is enough. Allah has not burdened you with this. Yes.
