The statement regarding the psychological speech and the speech of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
(may Allah have mercy on him). He says: I asked the community, and I say that up to now, the opinion regarding the soul—has this come to you in agreement with the chapter of the people of the Sunnah and the community? Because the circle of the righteous is, by the permission of Allah, and before they proceed, by the permission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

Answer:
This is invalid. The statement regarding the psychological speech is the statement of the Asha'irah. This is an invalid statement. They say that the meaning of the Qur'an is from Allah and its wording is from the Messenger. Its meaning is not created and its wording is created. So they say the Qur'an is created and not created. This is a contradiction. This is a contradiction. The Mu'tazilah say, no, the wording and the meaning of the Qur'an, both are created. And they are more explicit in disbelief than these people. These people say, no, the Qur'an is composed of two things: created and not created. Does this make sense? This is a contradiction. How can something be created and at the same time not created?
This is the statement of the Asha'irah. As for the Qudsi hadith, it is not as the questioner said, that its wording is from the Messenger and its meaning is from Allah. No, its wording and its meaning are from Allah. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) narrates it from his Lord. He narrates it with its wording and its meaning.
