Can the Almighty’s saying: (So they found therein a wall about to collapse) and the Almighty’s saying: (And when the anger subsided in Moses) be interpreted as personification, which is the attribution of characteristics of a rational being to an irrational one?

The noble verses include: (He was overtaken by drowning), (When Moses' anger subsided), and (It was about to collapse). These contain rhetorical metaphors and figurative language. Rhetoricians consider "being overtaken," "subsiding," and "intending" as attributes and actions of rational beings. Attributing them to irrational beings or abstract concepts is considered a metaphor and linguistic figuration.

However, those who deny the existence of figurative language in the Qur’an interpret the words literally. For example, Al-Shanqeeti holds that the wall's "intention" to collapse could be a reality, because Allah Almighty knows the intentions, actions, and speech of inanimate objects, which are not perceived by creation. The same applies to all other instances that rhetoricians consider figurative.
