Exegesis of the Hadith: Allah Created Adam in His Image

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is asking about the authenticity of the hadith, O Shaykh:
for Allah created Adam in His own imageإن الله خلق آدم على صورته
Sahih Muslim 2612e
.

Answer:
Yes. In one narration, it says "in the image of the Most Merciful," meaning not the image of Adam, but that he resembles the image of the Most Merciful in every respect. However, "in His image" means that He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing, and possesses, for example, essential attributes and connotative attributes. That is its meaning. Yes.
