The Shaykh’s explanation of the ruling on the addition of “with his right hand” and that it does not contradict his statement “he counts the tasbih with his hand,” and the parallel to that is the addition by Zayyad ibn Qudamah in the hadith regarding moving

The Shaykh : Then, this addition is not contradictory to the original, so it is not considered anomalous, if the narrator is...
Look at this addition with the same perspective with which you looked at the hadith of Wa’il ibn Hujr, and I explained my opinion on that in some of my books: that the narration of Zayyad ibn Qudamah: does not contradict the narrations of the others from the trustworthy ones , because pointing does not contradict moving, for everyone who moves has pointed. So if you say to your companion who is far from you: “Come,” and some of those who saw you said he pointed with his hand to his companion, this does not mean that he did not move his hand. So on this basis, there is no contradiction between the narration or “he points with it” as some students think. Likewise here, completely, there is no disagreement between the narration of the one who narrated: and the narration of the one who narrated: . So the hand is singular, and it was explained by this narration: . This is all if we overlook what we mentioned regarding the etiquette of using the right hand for respected things and the left hand for the opposite of that.
And it is amazing, without blame, that I see our Najdi brothers elevating themselves above eating with their left hand along with the right, so we see them sometimes taking a piece of meat from one person from one end and from the other person from the other end, until when its cooking is slight and he does not use this hand. Do you not notice this with me?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Why?
Even though purifying this hand from tasbih is more appropriate than employing it with food and drink.
