A benefit regarding what He created with His hand in reality, what He created by the word, and what He wrote with His hand.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And His saying, the Exalted:
to that which I created with My hands لما خلقت بيدي
[Sad 38:75]
The evidence from this phrase is His saying, the Exalted:
with My hand بيدي
with His two hands. Good. And the others were not created with the hands. Yes, other than Adam, they were not created with the hands; they were created by the word, as He, the Exalted, said:
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is. إنما أمره إذا أراد شيئاً أن يقول له كن فيكون
[Ya-Sin 36:82]
"Be." Other than Adam, the angels, the devils, and all the rest were created by the word. So if someone asks, "What is your evidence that they were created by the word?" we say, "Our evidence is His saying, the Exalted:
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.إنما أمره إذا أراد شيئاً أن يقول له كن فيكون
[Ya-Sin 36:82]
So when He intends to create the angels, He says, "Be," and they are. And so it is with the others. But Allah created Adam with His hand and made his form in the form of the Lord, Mighty and Majestic. This is another honor, that He made him in the form of the Lord. However, being in the form of the Lord does not imply being similar to the Lord, because Allah, the Exalted, said:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing. ليس كمثله شيء وهو السميع البصير
[Ash-Shuraa 42:11]
and the first group to enter Paradise will be in the form of the moon on the night of the full moon, and they are not similar to the moon. So similarity in form does not imply similarity in essence. And the rest of the discussion on the verse will come, if Allah wills, because the brother Hajjaj is indicating that the time is ending.

The questioner : May Allah reward you
