Question:
You mentioned, Your Eminence, that Allah has a Face, hands, and a leg befitting His Majesty, Glorified is He. What is the evidence for this?
Answer:
The evidence[Ar-Rahman 55:27] This is clear evidence for affirming the Face of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. [Al-Ma'idah 5:64] “With which I created with My hands” is evidence for affirming the Hands of Allah.
In the authentic collections, it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will expose His Shins on the Day of Resurrection for His believing servants, and they will prostrate to Allah. The hypocrites will try to prostrate but will not be able to. This is because, in this world, they were upon hypocrisy; they were with the believers in appearance, but they were hypocrites. Their backs will become stiff like the ribs of cows, and they will not be able to prostrate,[Al-Qalam 68:42-43], meaning in this world [Al-Qalam 68:43]. Its affirmation has come; its affirmation has come, but as for the manner, yes.
That is, it is made in the form of His Eye, testing our eyes, testing our eyes, because the pronoun is a plural pronoun, and the pronoun of majesty for Himself is Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, like “We created the creation,” He is One, Glorified and Exalted is He, but it came with a plural pronoun for the sake of magnification. So the pluralization of the eyes is also for the sake of the pronoun, “with Our eyes,” meaning if He said “with Our two eyes” or “with Our eye,” the speech would not be fitting. So, in order for the speech to be fitting with itself, the eyes were pluralized, and what is intended is that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has two eyes, as in the hadith that the Messiah al-Dajjal claims to be Allah, who will appear in the end times, and the evidence of his lie is that he is one-eyed, and that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is not one-eyed. One-eyed means the one who has only one eye, so it indicates the affirmation of the two eyes for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is HeJami` at-Tirmidhi 2245Sahih (Darussalam).

Answer:
The evidence
And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِRather, both His hands are extended
بَلْ يَدَاهُ مَبْسُوطَتَانِIn the authentic collections, it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will expose His Shins on the Day of Resurrection for His believing servants, and they will prostrate to Allah. The hypocrites will try to prostrate but will not be able to. This is because, in this world, they were upon hypocrisy; they were with the believers in appearance, but they were hypocrites. Their backs will become stiff like the ribs of cows, and they will not be able to prostrate,
(42) The Day the shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but the disbelievers will not be able, (43) Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.
يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَن سَاقٍ وَيُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ خَاشِعَةً أَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ وَقَدْ كَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِلَى السُّجُودِwhile they were sound.
وَهُمْ سَالِمُونَThat is, it is made in the form of His Eye, testing our eyes, testing our eyes, because the pronoun is a plural pronoun, and the pronoun of majesty for Himself is Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, like “We created the creation,” He is One, Glorified and Exalted is He, but it came with a plural pronoun for the sake of magnification. So the pluralization of the eyes is also for the sake of the pronoun, “with Our eyes,” meaning if He said “with Our two eyes” or “with Our eye,” the speech would not be fitting. So, in order for the speech to be fitting with itself, the eyes were pluralized, and what is intended is that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has two eyes, as in the hadith that the Messiah al-Dajjal claims to be Allah, who will appear in the end times, and the evidence of his lie is that he is one-eyed, and that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is not one-eyed. One-eyed means the one who has only one eye, so it indicates the affirmation of the two eyes for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He
and your Lord is not blind in one eye
وإن ربكم ليس بأعور
