Why is the one who says, “The Qur'an is created,” not declared a disbeliever?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: Why is the one who says, “The Qur'an is created,” not declared a disbeliever?

The Shaykh : It is not disbelief because there is a figurative interpretation (ta'wil) involved. They have an interpretation in which they say that its revelation is created, not that the remembrance (dhikr) whose revelation is created. Undoubtedly, this is inserting the word “revelation” where there is no evidence for it, similar to their saying:
And your Lord has come وجاء ربك
They mean: “And the command of your Lord came,” so they inserted “command.” Because of this interpretation, we do not declare them disbelievers.
