Is the statement "The Qur'an carries many faces (interpretations)" authentically attributed to Umar ibn al-Khattab or Ali ibn Abi Talib, and what is its origin and meaning?

There is no reliable evidence to substantiate the attribution of the phrase "Do not argue with them using the Quran, for it carries many interpretations; rather, confront them with the Sunnah (definition)" to Umar or Ali, may Allah be pleased with them both. Sheikh Al-Qaradawi clarified that this phrase, despite its popularity, is not found in its well-known form in many sources, and popularity is not proof of authenticity. He cited the Quran and Sunnah to show that the Quran is a clear and guiding book, and it cannot be ambiguous or open to any interpretation. He also pointed out that the command to refer matters to Allah and His Messenger when disputing means referring to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. How, then, could Allah Almighty command referral to a judgment that does not resolve the dispute but is itself disputed?
