Sharh Usul Itiqad Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamaah - Al-Lalakai - (2/284)

Al-Hasan ibn ‘Uthman informed us: Ahmad ibn Hamdan informed us: Ahmad ibn al-Husayn al-Sufi related to us: ‘Abd al-Samad Mardawayh related to us, saying:

“We gathered before Isma‘il ibn ‘Ulayyah after he had retracted what he had said. Those present were myself, ‘Ali, the young companion of Hushaym, Abu al-Walid Khalaf al-Jawhari, Abu Kinanah al-A‘war, and Abu Muhammad Masrur, the freedman of al-Mu‘alla and a companion of Hushaym. ⦗285⦘

‘Ali, the young companion of Hushaym, said to him, ‘We would like to hear from you something that we may convey to the people concerning the matter of the Quran.’

He replied, ‘The Quran is the speech of Allah, and nothing belonging to Allah is created. Whoever says that anything belonging to Allah is created has disbelieved. I seek Allah’s forgiveness for what I said in the gathering.’

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَمْدَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الصُّوفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ مَرْدَوَيْهِ قَالَ: اجْتَمَعْنَا إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ بَعْدَمَا رَجَعَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ , فَكُنْتُ ⦗٢٨٥⦘ أَنَا وَعَلِيٌّ فَتَى هُشَيْمٍ , وَأَبُو الْوَلِيدِ خَلَفٌ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ , وَأَبُو كِنَانَةَ الْأَعْوَرُ , وَأَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ مَسْرُورٌ مَوْلَى الْمُعَلَّى صَاحِبُ هُشَيْمٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ فَتَى هُشَيْمٍ: نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَسْمَعَ مِنْكَ مَا نُؤَدِّيهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ فِي أَمْرِ الْقُرْآنِ. فَقَالَ: الْقُرْآنُ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ , وَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ مَخْلُوقٌ , وَمَنْ قَالَ: إِنَّ شَيْئًا مِنَ اللَّهِ مَخْلُوقٌ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ , وَأَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِمَّا كَانَ مِنِّي فِي الْمَجْلِسِ
