Is the report from Ibn Taymiyyah that the Qur'an is ancient authentic?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : May Allah keep you safe, my brother. His statement: "The Qur'an is what its verses brought, the ancient ones."

Answer : Yes. First, this needs to be proven to be from Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. And assuming it is proven, this is likely from the early stage of his seeking of knowledge, because the statement that it is ancient is the well-known view among most people. He may have said this in the early stage of his seeking. However, it appears that it is not authentic in the first place.
