Is the attribute of smell established for Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Can the establishment of the attribute of smell for Allah be derived from this hadith?

Answer:
We do not establish anything except what Allah has established or what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has established. And there is no mention of smell in the hadith
The mention of smell for Allah (Mighty and Majestic).ذكر الشم لله عز وجل.
So do not strain yourselves with this straining. Read the hadith as it came. And narrate it as it came. And do not establish anything for Allah that He has not established for Himself, and that His Messenger has not established for Him. Allah did not mention smell, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention smell for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So why do we strain ourselves with this straining?
