Explanation of the author's statement: "And the Book and the Sunnah have indicated this position.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: "And the Book and the Sunnah have indicated this position. Among the proofs from the Book is His saying, the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:6]" This means: the Qur'an, because the meaning is not that he hears the word of Allah from the essence of Allah, but rather that he hears the word of Allah through the medium of the word of Allah, which is the Qur'an.
He said: "And His saying, or His saying:[Ibrahim 14:1]" He explicitly stated that Allah revealed it.
"And His saying:[Ash-Shu'ara 26:193-195]" This makes it clear that it was revealed and that it is not created.
If you say: It does not follow from the fact that something was revealed that it is not created, for there are things Allah mentioned that He revealed which are created, as in His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:22] And it is known that this water is created. And He said, the Exalted: [Al-Hadid 57:25] And it is known that iron is created. And He said, the Exalted: [Az-Zumar 39:6] And it is known that these eight are created. So it does not follow from something being revealed from Allah that it is not created, because we have found things whose revelation is attributed to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, which are created. So what is the answer?
The answer is to say: Are these things to which Allah attributed their revelation entities that exist in themselves or not? Iron, water, and livestock are entities that exist in themselves, so we know that they are created. As for speech, speech does not exist in itself, but rather it does not exist except with whom? With the one who speaks it. And if it does not exist except with the one who speaks it, it becomes one of His attributes, and the attributes of the Creator are not created.
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah
وإن أحد من المشركين استجارك فأجره حتى يسمع كلام اللهHe said: "And His saying, or His saying:
a Book which We have revealed to you
كتاب أنزلناه إليك"And His saying:
(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: It does not follow from the fact that something was revealed that it is not created, for there are things Allah mentioned that He revealed which are created, as in His saying, the Exalted:
sent down from the sky, rain
أنزل من السماء ماءAnd We sent down iron, wherein is great military might
وأنزلنا الحديد فيه بأس شديدand He produced for you from the grazing livestock eight mates

Iron, water, and livestock are entities that exist in themselves, so we know that they are created. As for speech, speech does not exist in itself, but rather it does not exist except with whom? With the one who speaks it. And if it does not exist except with the one who speaks it, it becomes one of His attributes, and the attributes of the Creator are not created.
