For them it is present in the sutras, but is extracted from them and explained by later monks. It all depends on what is meant by buddhavacana, and if the Buddha directly taught it himself or not.
May i request further reading on that?

Note: the photo will answer too

Ashin Khemindo (founder of DBS in Indonesia,
originator of Abhidhammo day in Indonesia):

"In Abhidhammo, worldly words are omitted,
like 'water' it is just a WORLD AGREEMENT,
which ABSOLUTELY IS H2O (because 'water'
is 'hydrogen and oxygen')."


"Abhidhamma Made Easy" by Venerable Khemindo
has and will continue to help many people.
