Some scholars, regarding the hadith "Indeed, Allah created Adam in His image," held that the pronoun refers to Adam!

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some scholars, regarding the hadith , held that the pronoun refers to Adam. Is this correct?

Answer:
Then the hadith would have no benefit. If it is interpreted as the pronoun referring to Adam, the hadith has no benefit. Adam. There is no doubt about this. That is one aspect. The second aspect is that it came in another narration. We interpret this as: "in the image of the Most Merciful." So, in the image of the Most Merciful. This should not be difficult for you.
Some people started to twist and turn in this issue. Allah has not burdened you with this. Establish what came and is authentic from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as it came. And if something is not clear to you, refrain from it if it is not clear to you, and ask the people of knowledge. As for you taking it and twisting and turning it, that is not right.
