Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32039 — Those who said: the Quran will

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection the Qur'an will be given the form of a man. Then a bearer of the Qur'an who opposed its command will be brought, and it will take the form of an adversary against him and will say: 'O my Lord, You placed the charge of me upon him, and what an evil bearer he is! He transgressed my limits, neglected my obligations, persisted in disobeying me, and abandoned obedience to me.' It will continue to present proofs against him until it is said: 'He is yours to deal with.' Then it will take him by the hand and will not let him go until it throws him face down upon a rock in Hell. And a righteous man who bore it and guarded its command will be brought, and the Qur'an will take the form of an adversary on his behalf and will say: 'O my Lord, You placed the charge of me upon him, and what an excellent bearer he is! He guarded my limits, acted upon my obligations, avoided disobeying me, and followed my command.' It will continue to present proofs in his favour until it is said: 'He is yours to deal with.' Then it will take him by the hand and will not let him go until it clothes him in a fine robe, places the crown of a king upon his head, and gives him a cup of wine to drink."
