Overview
Ali ibn Abi Muqatil, one of the jurists who were tested in the Mihna over the createdness of the Qur'an. 2
In the test
Al-Suyuti says that when tested he answered that the Qur'an is the speech of God, and that if the Commander of the Faithful ordered us anything we would hear and obey. Al-Ma'mun's letter to him rebuked his saying to him, "You permit and you forbid." 2
