Have there been any verses in the Holy Qur'an that are, verbatim, the words of human beings, and if so, how can we reconcile the fact that the Qur'an is the word of Allah with the presence of some human speech within it?

The Holy Quran is the final word of God and His eternal miracle. Its miraculous nature is evident in its eloquence, the truthfulness of its past and future tidings, and the comprehensiveness of its legislations and guidance.

The Quran's narration of the stories of past nations and their sayings does not imply their ability to produce something similar; rather, it is to convey lessons and refute their misconceptions.

The Quran has recounted the sayings of both the righteous and the unrighteous in a unique style, which the eloquent Arabs were unable to imitate, and they acknowledged its miraculousness, because what was recounted was the meaning of what they said, not their exact wording.
