The questioner : The questioner asks here: What is the ruling regarding quoting and speaking with the Qur'an, and going beyond the examples of the Qur'an, based on what al-Zarkashi and others said that it is not permissible to go beyond the examples of the Qur'an? For example, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says:
And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew. وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
[Al-'Ankabut 29:41]
, so a person says, "Weaker than the house of the spider," for example, or speaks with the Qur'an, as in saying, for example, "O my people"
Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver. اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
[Nuh 71:10]
or the like? And if such speech occurs in prayer, is it considered an objection, as if one were to say:
O Yahya, take the Book يَا يَحْيَى خُذِ الْكِتَابَ
—for example—while addressing his son?

The Shaykh : Yes. As for the answer to the first matter, I see no obstacle to it, provided that one does not make it a habit. As for the other issue, which is addressing a person named Yahya, or where it is understood that the one named Yahya is not the intended referent, but rather it is understood that the speaker means, in fact, "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 speech that was permissible at the beginning of the legislation of prayer in the Holy City of Madinah.
Yes.
