16
Chapter: The Prophet would seek protection through the words of Allah alone, not through anyone else’s words.
Nuʿaym said: “Refuge is not to be sought with any created being, nor with the speech of servants—whether jinn, humans, or angels. This is clear proof that the speech of Allah is uncreated, whereas everything other than Him is created.”
بَابُ مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَسْتَعِيذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا بِكَلَامِ غَيْرِهِ وَقَالَ نُعَيْمٌ: «لَا يُسْتعَاذُ بِالْمَخْلُوقِ، وَلَا بِكَلَامِ الْعِبَادِ وَالْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ، وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَفِي هَذَا دَلِيلٌ أَنَّ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ غَيْرُ مَخْلُوقٍ، وَأَنَّ سِوَاهُ مَخْلُوقٌ»
