The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : It is mentioned in a hadith that the Messenger, Allah (Exalted and Majestic), grasped a handful with His right hand and a handful with His left hand.
The Shaykh : And I returned and said, both of His hands are right.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... an example ... both of His hands are right?
The Shaykh : Because in some hadiths, the Messenger (peace be upon him) says, by way of explanation, by way of detailing, or some detailing, of the saying of the Exalted:[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] So Allah has two hands [Sad 38:75] This is in the text of the Qur'an, and many, many texts contain, yes, the affirmation of the two hands for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So in some hadiths, like this hadith, the two handfuls are right and left. It came in some other hadiths, affirming His saying, "There is nothing like Him," and "Both of my Lord's hands are right," ... .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Do you understand how?
The questioner : Yes, meaning this is among the attributes of Allah, and by which He is distinguished from His servants and His creation, and among what means His perfection is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has both hands as right. What did I say?
The questioner : The just ones on the pulpits.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes indeed.
Another questioner: He says ... right and left.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... consequently, right.
The Shaykh : Yes indeed, we reconcile between.
The questioner : Contradictions ..
The Shaykh : No, there is no contradiction, because.
The questioner : This is our understanding, what ... .
The Shaykh : This is not permissible; the error comes from here when you say Allah exists.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : But it is not permissible to imagine that His existence is like our existence. Rather, this is a shared term between you and Him. Your existence is not His existence in reality; the reality of your existence is not the reality of His existence, and so on[Ash-Shuraa 42:11] But Allah (Mighty and Majestic) described man as hearing and seeing, so He said [Al-Insan 76:2] Does that mean that the hearing of Allah is like the hearing of man, or conversely, that the hearing of man is like the hearing of Allah? No, this is, as the scholars say, a verbal sharing, but the reality is different to the greatest degree of difference. Yes, among the differences in some of the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is that both of my Lord's hands are right. This is what distinguishes Him from His creation, and what affirms this attribute is His saying (Blessed and Exalted is He) [Ash-Shuraa 42:11] ... has greatly lied against Allah. And I mentioned the seeing of Allah.
The questioner : I mentioned two for you ..
The Shaykh : Then the second, I did not mention except one " And whoever tells you .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : " that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) knew what was in tomorrow, has greatly lied against Allah. Then you recited the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He)[An-Naml 27:65] and the earth, or who is in the earth? " .
