170 – And that this Qur’an which He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is, in truth, the speech of Allah; it is not the speech of anyone else;

171 – And that it is impermissible to say that it is merely a report of Allah’s speech or an expression of it;

172 – Rather, when people recite it or write it in maṣāḥif (written copies), it does not thereby cease to be, in reality, the speech of Allah; for speech is, in fact, attributed to the one who originates it, not to the one who simply conveys and delivers it;

173 – And that it is the speech of Allah, in both its letters and its meanings; the speech of Allah is not the letters without the meanings, nor the meanings without the letters.
