(The denial by the Jahmiyyah of the attribute of the Hand for Allah and the denial of the special honor for Adam, his father, that Allah created him with His Hand, rather than equating him with Satan) But the Jahmi has nothing of *** this honor, so he is one of denial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"But the Jahmi has nothing of *** this honor, so he is one of denial"
The Jahmi does not affirm two Hands for Allah, nor does he affirm that Allah created Adam with His Hands, nor that He created the Garden of Firdaus with His Hand, but he holds that the meaning of "Hand" is power and ability. For this reason, he said:
"But the Jahmi has nothing of *** this honor, so he is one of denial
He was born undutiful, undutiful to his father, and did not *** establish thereby any honor over Satan"
True, may Allah have mercy on him. The Jahmi was undutiful to his father, undutiful to Adam, where he denied this honor by which Allah distinguished him, which is that He created him with His Hand. So he said: Allah created Adam with His power, and He created Satan also? Huh? With His power? Then Adam has no honor over Satan, even though he pointed to this honor in His saying:[Sad 38:75]
So both, he says, according to the view of the Jahmi:
"So both are the effect of His power, and the *** effect of His will, there are no two hands"
This is the view of whom? The Jahmi.
"Are they both [His] bounties and His blessings, and His creation" Are they both... meaning the bounties of Allah and His blessings and His creation.
"*** all by the blessing of His Lord, the Bestower". Yes.

what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands?
