Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "Chapter on the fact that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah".
This is also a matter in which there was a dispute between the people of the Sunnah and the community and the Mu'tazilah and their followers.
"The position of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, revealed and not created, from Him it began and to Him it returns".
"That the Qur'an is the speech of Allah" What is their evidence? I think we mentioned it, let us leave it.
"Revealed and not created" The word "not created" came about when the claim of the creation of the Qur'an occurred; otherwise, it was known in the era of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) that they say the Qur'an is the speech of Allah, revealed.
But when the claim that the Qur'an is created occurred, the people of the Sunnah said: It is not created, just as the people of the Sunnah said: Allah rose above the Throne with His Self, when the claim occurred that it means He took possession of it, that He took possession of it, and they said He descends to the lowest heaven with His Self when the claim occurred that He sends down one of His angels or His mercy.
He said: "From Him it began and to Him it returns". From Him it began means from Allah, the author mentioned this later.
"He spoke it in reality, and He cast it to Jibril, who brought it down upon the heart of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)" As Allah the Exalted said:[Ash-Shu'ara 26:193-195] So their saying: It is the speech of Allah means it is not the speech of Jibril and not the speech of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
If you say: How do you reconcile this with His saying the Exalted about the Qur'an:[At-Takwir 81:19-20] And His saying: [Al-Haqqah 69:40-41] So Allah attributed this speech to the messenger, to the angelic messenger in His saying: And to the human messenger in His saying: [Al-Haqqah 69:41]?
We say: This attribution is in terms of conveying, so Jibril conveyed it to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is, with respect to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the speech of Jibril, so he is the one who spoke it.
And Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it to us, so it is his speech in terms of his conveying it to us.
And what indicates this is that it is not possible for one speech to be the speech of two people, and Allah said:[At-Takwir 81:19-20] And He said: [Al-Haqqah 69:40-41] So it is not possible for one speech to be the speech of two people, so whose speech is it? It is the speech of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as He the Exalted said: [At-Tawbah 9:6].
This is also a matter in which there was a dispute between the people of the Sunnah and the community and the Mu'tazilah and their followers.

"He spoke it in reality, and He cast it to Jibril, who brought it down upon the heart of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)" As Allah the Exalted said:
(193) The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down (194) Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners - (195) In a clear Arabic language.
نزل به الروح الأمين على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين بلسان عربي مبينIf you say: How do you reconcile this with His saying the Exalted about the Qur'an:
(19) [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger (20) [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
إنه لقول رسول كريم * ذي قوة عند ذي العرش مكين(40) [That] indeed, the Qur'an is the word of a noble Messenger. (41) And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.
إنه لقول رسول كريم ** وما هو بقول شاعر قليلا ما تؤمنونPossessing strength with the Lord of the Throne, firmly established
ذي قوة عن ذي العرش المكينAnd it is not the word of a poet
وما هو بقول شاعرWe say: This attribution is in terms of conveying, so Jibril conveyed it to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so it is, with respect to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the speech of Jibril, so he is the one who spoke it.
And Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed it to us, so it is his speech in terms of his conveying it to us.
