لِرَجُلٍ وَ قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ بِكَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ تَحْتَقِرُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تَسْتَصْغِرُهُ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ رُسُلَهُ حَيْثُ بَعَثَهَا وَ مَعَهَا ذَهَبٌ وَ لَا فِضَّةٌ وَ لَكِنْ بَعَثَهَا بِالْكَلَامِ وَ إِنَّمَا عَرَّفَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ بِالْكَلَامِ وَ الدَّلَالَاتِ عَلَيْهِ وَ الْأَعْلَامِ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473247">H 14576</a> – From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada, who has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Abdullah</span><sup>asws</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> having said to a man who spoke to him by a lengthy speech, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O you man who belittles the speech, and considers knowledge to be insignificant, know that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> did not Send His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>as</sup> along with gold and silver, but He<sup>azwj</sup> Sent him<sup>saww</sup> by the speech. But rather, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Majestic and Mighty Made Himself<sup>azwj</sup> Recognised to the creatures by the speech, and the evidence (pointing) towards Him<sup>azwj</sup>, and the Signs’.
