Is there a disagreement among the Salaf regarding the fact that the Torah and the Gospel are not the words of Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, I did not say the Salaf; I said that the Salaf stated that it is the word of Allah. Allah knows best, for Allah says:
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things وكتبنا له في الألواح من كل شيء موعظة وتفصيلا لكل شيء
[Al-A'raf 7:145]
And in the hadith:
Indeed, Allah wrote the Torah with His hand إن الله كتب التوراة بيده
So I refrain from making a definitive statement on this, but the words of the Salaf are clear. They say that the Torah and the Gospel are from the word of Allah, as is the Psalms. But there is no doubt that it is revealed from Allah, and this is what must be believed. Is that sufficient? It is sufficient that we believe it is revealed from Allah.
