[Machine] I have known people for seventy years saying that Allah is the Creator and nothing besides Him is created, and that the Quran is the speech of Allah. Abu Al-Hasan said that my father said, and he lived during the lifetime of Amr ibn Dinar, one of the most honorable companions of the Prophet ﷺ, among the Badris, Muhajireen, and Ansar, such as Jabir ibn Abdullah, Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri, Abdullah ibn Umar, Abdullah ibn Abbas, Abdullah ibn Zubayr, and the most honorable among the Tabi'in. And this has been the belief of this ummah.
أَدْرَكْتُ النَّاسَ مُنْذُ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً يَقُولُونَ اللهُ الْخَالِقُ وَمَا سِوَاهُ مَخْلُوقٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ كَلَامُ اللهِ ﷻ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَبِي وَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَجِلَّةَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْبَدْرِيِّينَ وَالْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ مِثْلَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَجَلَّةِ التَّابِعِينَ وَعَلَى هَذَا مَضَى صَدْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ
