The differentiation between His allies and His enemies and they attributed Him, Glory be to Him, to deficiency; He is above the saying of the Qadariyya, great indeed. (Response) And it is said to them: That the created thing is either a body from bodies or a person from persons or it is an attribute from the attributes of persons...

And this must be the speech of God must have perished and gone. So when it is not permissible for it to be a person nor an attribute of a created person, it is not permissible for it to be created; that persons can die. Therefore whoever proves that the speech of God is a created person, he must accept that death is possible on the speech of God, the Almighty, and this is not permissible.
