Is the left hand established as an attribute of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
It is narrated from Ibn 'Umar, traced to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. This hadith was narrated by Muslim. We read in the book "Establishing the Attributes of the Lord" by Ibn Khuzaymah that he stated therein the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that both hands of my Lord are right. This hadith establishes that Allah has a left hand. So what is the authenticity of this hadith, and how do we reconcile the two hadiths? May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : The hadith is valid without the mention of the left hand. However, that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has two hands, and that both hands of my Lord are right, this is valid. Did you hear the answer?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: And you as well, if Allah wills.
The questioner : From Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 2586.
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Welcome, and peace be upon you. How are you? Good? Welcome, are we on schedule for today?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: When?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is, it is four o'clock, as I said.
The questioner : It is four o'clock.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The questioner : ... They informed us and confessed without us taking them, meaning on a translator. And when we arrested them, some of the students of knowledge told us that this is not permissible, to bring him from his house and extract a confession from him.
The Shaykh : This requires, my brother, that you write a statement so that we can understand you well, because the time now, as you see, is not sufficient.
The questioner : Today, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : So call me by phone after 'Isha'.
The questioner : Is it possible after 'Asr, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : No, it is not possible.
How are you?
The questioner : I am well, and praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : I hope you are well. How are those around you? Are they all well, if Allah wills?
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.
The questioner : Shaykh, is it permissible for a Muslim to bring in a Christian, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : This question requires a lecture.
The questioner : Come down, brothers. Come down, brothers.

Allah folds the seven heavens on the Day of Resurrection, then He takes them with His right hand, then He says: I am the King; where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant? Then He folds the seven earths, then He takes them with His left hand, then He says: I am the King; where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant?
يطوي الله السموات السبع يوم القيامة ، ثم يأخذهنَّ بيده اليمنى ، ثم يقول : أنا الملك ؛ أين الجبَّارون ؟ أين المتكبِّرون ؟ ثم يطوي الأرضين السبع ، ثم يأخذهنَّ بشماله ، ثم يقول : أنا الملك ؛ أين الجبَّارون ؟ أين المتكبِّرون ؟The Shaykh : The hadith is valid without the mention of the left hand.
