Continuation of the question regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: {The hand of Allah is over their hands}. Is it correct to say that the hand belongs to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and that Allah merely attributed it to Himself as an honor?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : No, no, we do not say that it is the hand of Allah in the sense that the hand of Allah directly touched their hands; we cannot say that.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, how do we say it?
The Shaykh : We say that the hand of Allah is over their hands in the sense that Allah made the pledge of allegiance to the Messenger like a pledge of allegiance to Allah, but Allah is above everything, so the hand of Allah is over our hands. I see that there is nothing wrong with the one who holds this view or that view. Yes.
