[Machine] "Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'The Quran was revealed with the embellishment, likening it to the form of a bird' (Surah Al-Imran, 49), 'As an excuse or as a warning' (Surah Al-Mursilat, 6), and 'And the two shells' (Surah Al-A'raf, 54), 'Indeed, to Him belongs the creation and the command' (Surah Al-A'raf, 54), and its similitudes.'"  

الحاكم:٢٩٥٣ – أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ بِمَرْوَ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقَاشِيُّ ثنا بَكَّارُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالتَّفْخِيمِ {كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ} [آل عمران 49] {عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا} [المرسلات 6] وَالصَّدَفَيْنِ {أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ} [الأعراف 54] وَأَشْبَاهُهَا  

«هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ»

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The Qur'an was revealed with distinction, like the appearance of a bird" [Surah Al-Imran 49]. "Excuses, warnings, and the two shells, and behold, to Him belong creation and command" [Surah Al-A'raf 54], and similar to this in the Qur'an. This is an authentic narration and it was not rejected. No, by God, it is not weak. Al-Awfi is weak and Bukair is not an authority, and this hadith is denounced.  

الحاكم:٢٩٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ ثنا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ أَنْبَأَ بَكَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالتَّفْخِيمِ {كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ} [آل عمران 49] عُذْرًا وَنُذْرًا وَالصَّدَفَيْنِ وَ {أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ} [الأعراف 54] وَأَشْبَاهُ هَذَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ «صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» لا والله العوفي على ضعفه وبكار ليس بعمدة والحديث واه منكر
