The authenticity of the hadith that Allah created Adam in His image

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith
for Allah created Adam in His own imageإن الله خلق آدم على صورته
Sahih Muslim 2612e
?

Answer:
The hadith is authentic. The meaning of "in His image" or "in the image of the Most Merciful," as found in some narrations, is that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has a hearing, a sight, a face, and two hands, may He be exalted, befitting His majesty. Similarly, the human being has a hearing, a sight, a face, and two hands; he has attributes. However, there is no likeness between the attributes of the Creator and the attributes of the created. Rather, the attributes of Allah are befitting Him and His greatness and majesty, and the attributes of the created are befitting the created. Yes.
