Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet said to a man, "Have you got anything of the Qur'an?" The man said, "Yes, such-andsuch Sura, and such-and-such Sura," naming the Suras.
So Allah the Exalted has described His Essence as «شىء». Similarly, the Prophet (ﷺ) called the Qur'an «شىء». While the Qur'an is also one of the attributes of Allah, and Allah the Exalted has said «كل شىء هالك إلا وجهه»: "Everything will perish except His Essence."
