Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks: In the statement of Allah the Exalted[Al-A'raf 7:57], is there evidence in this verse for establishing the hands for Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
"Before His mercy," he did not say "before His hands." "Before His mercy" means in the forefront; He sends the winds in the forefront of the rain, which is the mercy intended. Yes. And the thing that comes before a thing is said to be "before it." Yes.
