Is the hadith: (His left hand spends what His right hand does not know) inverted in its narrator, or is it established in its reality?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: This hadith is inverted in its narrator, like the hadith:
His left hand spends what His right hand does not know. تنفق شماله ما لا تعلم يمينه
, or is it established in its reality?

The Shaykh: Which hadith...? What is the first wording?

The questioner:
The heavens in His right hand and the earths in His left hand. السماوات بيمينه والأراضين بشماله
; did it become inverted for him, saying: The earths are in His other hand?

The Shaykh: ... because we mentioned in some answers that this hadith, although it has in its chain Muslim, 'Amr ibn Hamzah or Hamzah ibn 'Amr, and he is weakened.
Yes?

The questioner: 'Amr ibn Hamzah?

The Shaykh: 'Amr ibn Hamzah, but the matter of the right and left hand has corroborating narrations. Accordingly, we combine this with his saying (peace be upon him) also in "Sahih Muslim":
And both hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدا ربِّي يمين
. That this is part of the complete attention of the Lord of the worlds in the Noble Qur'an, by His saying, purifying Himself by saying:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing. لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
. So the fact that a person has a right and a left may come to the mind of some people, especially those who deny the divine attributes, that this is distortion. So the response came from the Messenger (peace be upon him):
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
; meaning:
There is nothing like unto Him لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
.
