1805 - Muhammad ibn Sulayman informed me, saying: I asked Abu Abd Allah about the Qur'an. He said: "And beware of anyone who innovates regarding it. For he says: 'I say [it is] the speech of Allah, and I do not say [it is] created or not created.' If he says 'created,' then he is more eloquent with his argument than this [previous one], even though they have no argument, and praise be to Allah."
١٨٠٥ - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ⦗١٤٠⦘ الْقُرْآنِ، قَالَ: " وَإِيَّاكَ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِيهِ. فَقَالَ: أَقُولُ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ، وَلَا أَقُولُ مَخْلُوقٌ أَوْ غَيْرُ مَخْلُوقٍ، فَإِنْ قَالَ مَخْلُوقٌ، فَهُوَ أَلْحَنُ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ هَذَا، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمَا حُجَّةٌ، وَالْحَمْدُ للَّهِ "
