And His saying: The words of Allah are prohibited to be counted (1). Rather, only some of its parts, like the revealed verses, enter under the count. Otherwise, how can what has no end be counted? Whenever something is counted by a certain measure, it has a limit, and what a person defines by his tongue and mind as a count has a limit. What does not have an end does not have a measure, neither in his mind nor in his tongue.
