The Qur'an is the speech of Allah; it is not attributed to the Messenger except figuratively

Question:
And if the Shaykh informed us that the Qur'an does not descend except with its weight, but in what he said about the awliya (close friends of Allah), and Allah the Exalted says that it is for the patience of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)

Answer:
Yes, because he is a conveyor. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) attributed the Qur'an to Himself, and He attributed the Qur'an to Himself, and He attributed it to Muhammad. It is not possible for one speech to issue from more than one person; this is never possible, it is impossible. This indicates that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for the angelic messenger and the human messenger, they are both conveyors from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Speech is truly attributed to the one who said it as a follower, not to the one who said it as a conveyor delivering it. If it is attributed to him, it is by way of figurative usage, not by way of reality, because he is a conveyor. So it is the speech of Jibril, the speech of the Messenger, in the sense of speech of conveyance only, speech of conveyance, not speech of origination.
