Why did the scholars interpret the phrase: “And We built the sky with hands” as “power,” while they prohibit the figurative interpretation of the attributes of Allah the Exalted?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is well known that the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) prohibit the figurative interpretation (ta'wil) of the attributes of Allah, and that it is obligatory to believe in them as they were mentioned in the texts of the Lawgiver. So why did they interpret His saying, Exalted is He, “We built the sky with hands” to mean that the intended meaning of “hands” is power?

Answer:
In the language, “ayd” (hands) is what it is. It is “ayd” with a yā’ (vowel), not “ayd” with a yā’ (letter). He did not say “with hands” with a yā’ (letter); he said “with ayd,” meaning with power. “Aydna” means we strengthened. “Aydna” means we strengthened. So Dawud, the one of “ayd,” means the one of power. All people have hands (aydī). If the intended meaning were the limbs (aydī), it would not be specific to Dawud. But the intended meaning is that Allah gave him power.
And “And remember Our servant Dawud, the one of ayd,” meaning the one of power. So “ayd” is power, whereas “aydī” with a yā’ (letter) refers to the limbs. Yes, we did not interpret the Qur'an, my brother. Yes, we did not interpret the attributes. This is not an attribute. Yes.
