"عَنْ أَبى هريرة قال: كنَّا عندَ عمرَ بن الخطاب إذا جاءهُ رجلٌ يسألُه عن القرآنِ مخلوقٌ هو أو غيرُ مخلوقٍ؟ فقام عمرُ فأخذ بمجامع ثوبه حتى قاده إلى على بن أَبى طالبٍ، فقال: يا أبا الحسن أما تسمع ما يقول هذا؟ قال: وما يقولُ؟ قال: جاء يسألنى عن القرآن أمخلوقٌ هوَ أو غير مخلوقٍ؟ فقال على: هذه كلمة وسيكون لها عزة، لو وليتُ من الأمر ما وليتَ لضربتُ عُنُقَه".

“From Abu Hurayrah who said: We were with ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab when a man came to him asking about the Quran: is it created or uncreated? ‘Umar stood, took hold of the gathers of his garment, and led him until he reached ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, and said: ‘O Abu al-Hasan, do you not hear what this one says?’ He said: ‘And what does he say?’ He said: ‘He came asking me about the Quran: is it created or uncreated?’ ‘Ali said: ‘This is a word, and it will have its power. If I had held the authority you hold, I would have struck his neck.’”
