related refs

Natiq: The root of this word is nun, ta, qaf. It literally means "speaking" and technically means every Messenger who speaks in the position of the custodian of a Book and Shariat and his every word is influenced by heavenly revelation. As God says about the Holy Prophet: "Nor does he speak out of (his own desire), it is but a revelation revealed" (53:3-4). During the lifetime of the Natiq, on the whole, the Asas remains silent, therefore is called samit (silent). He is also apparently samit or silent in the sense that he does most of the work of his dawat in a hidden manner and in spirituality.

Kitabun yantiqu (The Qur’an within the Imam, which is also the record of deeds of the righteous ones)

Every Muslim accepts that the holy Prophet in his time was the embodied light (nur-i mujassam) and the speaking Qur'an, as God says in verses (53:3-4): "Nor does he speak out of (his own) desire, it is but a revelation revealed." That is, his speaking is the speaking of the Qur'an, therefore, he became the speaking Qur'an.
