Hadith 66

And from it, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Abdul Raheem who said, ‘I wrote (and sent) upon the hands of Abdul Malik Bin Ayn to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The people are differing regarding the Quran. A group claims that the Quran is Speech of Allah-azwj, not a created thing’. And others are saying, ‘Speech of Allah-azwj, Created’’. He-asws wrote: ‘The Quran is Speech of Allah-azwj, an occurrence, not a Created being, and not eternal with Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention, and He-azwj is too Exalted from that, Lofty, Great. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic existed and there was nothing other than Allah-azwj, neither known or unknown, and the Mighty and Majestic existed and He-azwj neither Spoke, nor Wanted, nor Moved, nor Did. Majestic and Mighty is our Lord-azwj. The entirety of these attributes are occurrences at the occurrence of the deed from Him-azwj. Mighty and Majestic is our Lord-azwj. And the Quran is Speech of Allah-azwj, not a created being, where is news of what has happened before you, and news of what would be happening after you having been Revealed from the Presence of Allah-azwj upon Muhammad-saww, Rasool‑saww of Allah-azwj’’. [71]
Note: Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘The meaning of his-asws words: ‘Not a created being’, is not belied, and it does not mean by it ‘not an occurrence’, because he-asws had said, ‘Occurrence, not created and not eternally with Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention. And rather we are forbidden from casting ‘the created being’ upon it (Quran), because the ‘creating’ in the language has come as ‘belying’, and it is said, ‘A created speech’, i. e. a lie. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Said: But rather, you are worshipping idols from besides Allah and creating a falsehood. [29: 17] – i. e. a lie’.
