How to reconcile the hadith: "Both of my Lord's hands are right" with the hadith that Allah the Exalted rolls up the earths with His left?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My second question is a hadith regarding creed. It is what came in Sahih Muslim that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said
both of the Hands of my Lord are right كلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
And in the same Sahih Muslim, there is another hadith from a different chain in which it came that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Allah folds the heavens with His right hand and the earths with His left hand يطوي الله السماوات بيمينه والأرضين بشماله
So here he said
with His left بشماله
and there he said
both of the Hands of my Lord are right كلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
How do we reconcile the two hadiths? May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : The truth is that I am amazed at some of our brothers who pose such a question. They imagine a contradiction between what came in some hadiths that Allah has a right hand and Allah has a left hand, and the hadith in which he (peace be upon him) said
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
They imagine a contradiction between this hadith and the hadiths that detail and state that Allah has a right hand and Allah has a left hand, such as this hadith of Ibn 'Umar and the hadiths of the two handfuls that I extracted in the beginning of the first volume of al-Silsilah al-Sahihah. In them, it is stated that when Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created the creation,
He grasped a handful with His right hand in the realm of souls and said, "These are for Paradise, and I do not care," and He grasped a handful with His left hand and said, "These are for the Fire, and I do not care" قبض قبضة بيمينه في عالم الأرواح فقال هؤلاء إلى الجنة ولا أبالي وقبض قبضة بشماله فقال هؤلاء إلى النار ولا أبالي
There is no contradiction or conflict between this hadith, with its meaning of affirming the left and the right, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
Because the meaning of that is exactly like His saying (Blessed and Exalted is He) regarding the attribute of hearing and seeing:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing. ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
Nothing is like Him. "Both of my Lord's hands are right" is equivalent to "He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing." It is equivalent to having a right and a left. The purification of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the clarification that the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) do not resemble the attributes of the created beings is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned in the hadith cited just now:
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
Just now. We humans describe ourselves as having a right and a left, but is it permissible for us to describe ourselves as saying, as some Egyptian preachers did when addressing the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), saying in his exaltation and praise: "O Messenger of Allah, both of your hands are right"? This is clear misguidance. It is not permissible for a Muslim to describe himself except with what is known of his humanity, but it is not permissible to describe any human being, no matter how high and exalted he is, even if he is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), by saying "Both of the Messenger of Allah's hands are right," because this attribute is unique to the Lord of the Worlds (Blessed and Exalted is He). As you know, the matter of attributes involves a verbal sharing between the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the attributes of the servants. Allah is All-Hearing and All-Seeing, as you heard in the previous verse, but He said regarding Adam:
and We made him hearing and seeing. فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا
[Al-Insan 76:2]
But this hearing and this sight differ completely in their reality from the reality of the attribute of hearing and sight as attributes of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). This confirms the purification that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) mentioned in His saying:
There is nothing like unto Him ليس كمثله شيء
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
From this perspective came his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
So the right and the left have a verbal sharing, whereas
both of the Hands of my Lord are right كلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
No one shares with Him in the wording, let alone in the meaning. This is the answer to this question. The clock says "cut, cut," and that is enough. Dismiss yourselves in a righteous state. The questions have ended. May Allah reward you.
