1796 - And Muhammad ibn 'Ali informed us, saying: Muthanna ibn Jami' narrated to us, saying: I said to Ahmad ibn Hanbal: "What do you say regarding the Qur'an?" He replied: "It is the Speech of Allah, and it is uncreated." I said: "Some people relate from you that you say: 'The Speech of Allah,' and then remain silent." He said: "Whoever says that has spoken falsely."
١٧٩٦ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: ثنا مُثَنَّى بْنُ جَامِعٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ: أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَقُولُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ: «كَلَامُ اللَّهِ، وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مَخْلُوقٍ» ، قُلْتُ: إِنَّ بَعْضَ النَّاسِ يَحْكِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ: كَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَتَسْكُتُ. قَالَ: «مَنْ قَالَ ذَا فَقَدْ أَبْطَلَ»
