The questioner : Regarding this... because the verse is explicit that the speech is real, meaning...
'Ayd 'Abassi: ... .
The questioner : ... .
'Aid 'Abassi: He made up the speech.
The questioner : I heard something about him...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is it.
The questioner : ... a prophet, we do not know...
The Shaykh : What is the problem, I mean, what is the issue? ...
The questioner : The mufassirun (commentators) said... inspired us
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : But how does ilham (inspiration) come? Does it say[Al-Qasas 28:7]?
The Shaykh : Ilham, ilham means... itself, this speech
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : ... Now, when it was said to the Messenger (peace be upon him)[Al-Ikhlas 112:1], did he hear this speech directly from Allah, or did Jibril bring it down to him? Yes, and in this case, a fortiori, regarding the mother of Moses, by whatever means this speech was conveyed to her.
'Aid 'Abassi: So here there is an infusion into the soul, without Jibril descending and speaking to him. Is this of this type?
The Shaykh : This is wahy (revelation), and this is the difference between wahy and ilham. That is, ilham and wahy meet in that they are an infusion into the soul, but one is distinguished from the other in that wahy is protected from error, whereas ilham may be subject to error depending on its recipient. There is nothing more to it than this.
The questioner : It may also be in a dream, a person's vision... that... from Allah or an angel spoke to him?
The Shaykh : It is possible, it is possible, and the dream is a part of prophethood, yes.

Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,

That the Holy Spirit breathed into my heart that no soul will die until it has completed its lifespan
