The Shaykh’s review of what was covered in the previous lesson

The Shaykh : We discussed Allah’s statement in the title that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) used: We said that this is an allusion to Adam. We raised an objection to what the grammarians said, namely that *man* is for the rational and *ma* is for the non-rational. How did we answer this objection, Khalid?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : That is, if one intends to consider the description and the attribute of the rational being, then *ma* is used; but if one intends the person, then *man* is used. Considering the description of Adam is that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) singled him out by creating him with His Hand, which is greater than him being a person, an Adamite. Good. And Allah’s statement: The *ba* in His saying "with My Hand" is for transitivity, meaning that the creation occurred by the Hand; it occurred by the Hand. This was not the case in the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor in any other of the created things. Allah did not create anyone with His Hand except Adam, except for what is reported that He (Blessed and Exalted is He) planted the Garden of Eden with His Hand. If this report is authentic, it is added to what Allah (the Exalted) created with His Hand. As for what He wrote with His Hand, it is the Torah; Allah (the Exalted) wrote it with His Hand. Allah (the Exalted) said: Allah created Adam with His Hand, and He created the others by the word "Be, and it is," even 'Isa ibn Maryam; Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created him by the word, as Allah (the Exalted) said: So He created him and said to him "Be," and he was. But based on... the cause is that Allah breathed into her womb a spirit from Himself. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created her and Jibril breathed this spirit into her womb, so the child grew.
