Is it permissible for a person to quote from the Qur'an, for example, saying so-and-so is weaker than a spider's house, or saying to people

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says here in a question, the summary of which concerns quoting and speaking with the Qur'an and exceeding the examples of the Qur'an, based on what al-Zarkashi and others said, that it is not permissible to exceed the examples of the Qur'an. So Allah Mighty and Majestic says, for example:
And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew. وإن أوهن البيوت لبيت العنكبوت لو كانوا يعلمون
[Al-'Ankabut 29:41]
Then a person says, for example, "weaker than a spider's house," or speaks with the Qur'an, for example, saying to people:
Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. يا قوم استغفروا ربكم إنه كان غفارا
[Nuh 71:10]
or the like. And if such speech occurs in prayer, does it invalidate it, such as saying:
O Yahya, take the Book. يا يحيى خذ الكتاب
for example, while addressing a man?

The Shaykh : Yes.
As for the answer to the first matter, I see no objection to it, provided that he does not make it a habit.
As for the other issue, which is addressing a person named Yahya, or it is understood that the one named with this name is not intended, but it is understood that he actually means "take the book that is in the hands of the one praying," there is no doubt that this is a conversation by the one praying, which is not permissible after Islam prohibited the speech that was permissible at the beginning of the legislation of prayer in the Holy City of Madinah.
Yes.

The questioner : This is narrated from some of the Companions

The Shaykh : And He

The questioner : Ali ibn Abi Talib

The Shaykh : And He

The questioner : and while he was praying, he spoke with a text that matches the Qur'an

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : if this is established

The Shaykh : I mean, here

The questioner : Yes, indeed

The Shaykh : You got ahead of me.

The questioner : Because al-Zarkashi mentioned this

The Shaykh : Then the question collapsed from its root.
Yes, this has no value...

The questioner : Give me examples, O Shaykh, weaker than a spider's house, for example, and Allah says: The weakest of houses is the house of the spider

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : So is this correct?

The Shaykh : The answer, as mentioned before, is that if he does not repeat it and does not make it his constant practice, there is no objection, because this is by way of quoting from the Noble Qur'an.
