Question:
May Allah pray upon you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: Some people, regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah created Adam in His pictureخلق الله آدم على صورته
Sahih al-Bukhari 6227


Answer:
All of this, all of it, is vulgar talk with no value. You convey the hadith as it came from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If you say
Allah created Adam in His pictureخلق الله ادم على صورته
Sahih al-Bukhari 6227
"in the image of Adam," the hadith becomes useless. What do you do with the narrations that say "in the image of the Most Merciful"? You convey the hadith as it is, and I am not more knowledgeable than the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Leave these matters and these phrases that you derive from your own opinion, meaning you correct the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no power or strength except in Allah. Yes.
