According to studies written on this subject, it is expressed that, Cahiz thought like his teacher Nazzam on Sarfe Theory. However, when evaluated Cahız’s studies with a general point of, it is understood that he did not think like his teacher Nazzam, who is a great master of language, and on the contrary he thought that the Qur'an is a miracle with its wording and rhetoric. Altough Sarfe theory denotes that a book like Qur’an could be written by nonbelievers but Allah himself has taken this ability from them, Cahız says that this is not true so that his teacher Nazzam is apparently wrong about it and Cahız also tells that he has written a book about this subject.
