Is it correct to express the speech of Allah by saying: "The Book says so and so"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Twice. The first time you said "The Book says," and then you said afterward:

The Shaykh : How? How did you say it? What did you say?

The questioner : "The Book says." Cite a verse as evidence.
The student: The Book says.

The Shaykh : The Book says.

The questioner : Then you said again, "The verse that says," and I had asked you about this before.

The Shaykh : Yes, this is a type of speech that people do not pay attention to. We say "Allah said" because the Book does not speak; the verse is from the speech of Allah.
Yes
