The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: You mentioned in a previous lesson that among the honor of Adam (peace and blessings be upon him) is that Allah created him with His Hand, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says in His Book:
And the heaven We constructed with strengthوَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ
[Adh-Dhariyat 51:47]


The Shaykh:
My brother, “with hands” means with the strength of hands; it did not say “with My Hand,” but “with hands,” and “hands” (ayd) is strength.
supported them with spirit from Himوَأَيَّدَهُم بِرُوحٍ مِّنْهُ
[Al-Mujadila 58:22]
So the meaning of “We built it with hands” is that this is not from the verses of attributes; “with hands” means with strength. Yes.

The questioner:
And likewise His saying, Glorified is He:
Do they not see that We have created for them from what Our hands have madeأَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِّمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَا
[Ya-Sin 36:71]
.

The Shaykh:
“Our hands,” not “My Hand,” and this includes the angels, and the angels directly engage in creation by the permission of Allah, Mighty and Majestic,

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
As for Adam, He said:
to that which I created with My handsلِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ
[Sad 38:75]
“with My Hand,” in the dual form, so this is specific to Adam (peace and blessings be upon him). It came in the athar (report) that Allah created Adam with His Hand, wrote the Torah with His Hand, and planted the Garden of Eden with His Hand; this is specific to these three only. Yes. His saying, the Exalted: “And We built the sky with hands” (ayd), like His saying, the Exalted:
and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strengthوَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ
[Sad 38:17]
He did not say “with hands” (aydi) with a yā, but “with hands” (ayd), which is strength.
My brothers, a person does not rely on his own understanding. If something is unclear to him, he should first consult the books of tafsir (exegesis) before asking; he will find the answer in them. He does not rely on his own understanding and object, while he does not know. Yes.
