How is the hadith stating that the Qur'an intercedes for its owner on the Day of Resurrection reconciled with the fact that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah and is not created?

The questioner : It is mentioned in some hadiths that the Qur'an intercedes for the servant, saying: "O my Lord," and so on. How is this reconciled with the fact that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah and is not created, when the hadith states that the Qur'an says: "O my Lord"?
The Shaykh : If this hadith is authentic, for some scholars have deemed it weak, but if this hadith is authentic, then Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is capable of making this Noble Qur'an represent its reward and its recompense in the form of something that speaks. Just as death, which is one of the meanings, is represented on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a ram that is slaughtered between Paradise and Hellfire, witnessed by the people of Paradise and the people of Hellfire. So the meaning, which is the person's deed and his reading, and the person's reward for this reading, may be made by Allah the Exalted into something that speaks and talks and says: "O my Lord!" This is if the hadith is authentic.
