(Explanation of the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding the Qur'an: that the spoken and written word is the speech of Allah, uncreated, while the utterance, the writing, the ink, and the paper are created)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And indeed, the words of our poet healed us, for he *** said the truth and brought forth excellence"
"Healed us" means it removed our ailment and cured us of the disease.
"The words of our poet who *** said the truth", and he is al-Qahatani (may Allah have mercy on him).
"*** Said the truth and brought forth excellence"
What did he say? He said:
“Indeed, what is in the mushafs, fixed *** by the hands of the elders and the young
"It is the speech of my Lord, its verses and its letters *** and our ink and the parchment are created"

This distinction is the doctrine of the people of the Sunnah and the community. What is in the mushafs is fixed by the hands of the elders; originally, the mushafs were written by hand by the hands of the great elders and the young men.
"It is the speech of my Lord, its verses and its letters *** and our ink and the parchment are created"
So here, if someone asks: Is the Qur'an written in this book created or not? We distinguish and say: As for the written...
The student: ...

The Shaykh : The written? Yes, as for the written, it is not created. But as for the ink and the parchment, they are created. Likewise, the hand that wrote it is created. Similarly, if a reader recites, and one asks: What do you say about this recitation, is it created or not created? He recited the Qur'an, what do you say? I say: As for what is recited, it is not created. But as for the reader, his voice, and the instruments of the voice, namely the tongue and the lips, they are created. And this distinction removes the doubts.
