How do we reconcile the hadith: (Then He takes them with His left hand, then He says: I am the King. Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant?) with the hadith: (Both hands of my Lord are right)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: From Ibn 'Umar, traced to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
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 السماوات السبع يوم القيامة ، ثم يأخذهنَّ بيده اليمنى ، ثم يقول : أنا الملك أين الجبارون ؟ أين المتكبِّرون ؟ ثم يطوي الأراضين السبع ، ثم يأخذهنَّ بشماله ، ثم يقول : أنا الملك ، أين الجبارون ؟ أين المتكبرون ؟
This hadith was narrated by Muslim, and we read in the book *Ithbat Sifat al-Rabb* by Ibn Khuzaymah that he said in it: a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that
Both hands of my Lord are right كلتا يدي الرب اليمين
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, but, but, but that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has two hands
both of the Hands of my Lord are right وكلتا يدي ربي يمين
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3367Hasan (Darussalam)
This is valid. I heard 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:
brought him to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him جاء حبر إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقال له
Muwatta Malik 41:30
.
The student: ... I came to you from Saudi Arabia, O Shaykh.
Another student: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: Welcome, and peace be upon you. How are you? Good, welcome. Are we on schedule for today?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh: When?
The student: As you wish.

The Shaykh: I mean, it is four o'clock.
The student : It is four o'clock.

The Shaykh: As I said.
The student : It is four o'clock.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
The student: And upon you peace.
