What is the ruling on the hadith: (Indeed, Allah did not touch with His hand except three things: He created Adam with His hand, He created the Garden of Eden with His hand, and He wrote the Torah with His hand)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, regarding the hadith:
Indeed, Allah did not touch with His hand except three things: He created Adam with His hand, He created the Garden of Eden with His hand, and He wrote the Torah with His hand إن الله لم يمس بيده إلا ثلاثة أشياء : خلق آدم بيده وخلق جنة عدن بيده وكتب التوراة بيده
What is the authenticity of this hadith?
Another questioner: In the hadith about five things.

The Shaykh : First,
Indeed, Allah did not touch إن الله لم يمس
I do not think there is a hadith in it, rather
Allah created with His hand such and such خلق الله بيده كذا وكذا
this exists, but the truth is, my memory is far from whether it is established or not. If you remember, it is in Sahih al-Jami' or Da'if al-Jami'...

The questioner : It is not in al-Sahihah; I searched for it, but Shaykh Mahmoud told me while I was in the UAE that it is in Mukhtasar al-'Ulum, but I have not come across it, meaning...

The Shaykh : Mukhtasar al-'Ulum would be...
The student: It is in the response of 'Uthman ibn Sa'id al-Darimi to Bishr.

The Shaykh : ... We are now asking about whether we have verified it...

The questioner : The truth is, when he said it was transmitted to me in the UAE, but I did not come across the book, *Mukhtasar al-'Ulum*, otherwise I would have referred to it.

The Shaykh : But I imagine it is in al-Jami' al-Saghir, and thus, Allah knows best, it is in... but I am not certain.

The questioner : I searched in al-Sahih and did not find it.

The Shaykh : You may have searched by this wording:
did not touch لم يمس
.

The questioner : No, I wrote "created" as well, "created by Allah," and "Indeed, Allah did not touch,"...

The Shaykh : We do not know this wording:
did not touch لم يمس
