Those who deny the attribute of the hand: should we not say to them that the Jews said, "The hand of Allah is bound," and they affirmed it, so they are better than you?

The questioner : Those who deny the hand for Allah, those who deny the hand for Allah.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : What do we say to them... regarding the Jews and the Christians who said, "The hand of Allah is bound"? How can it be a blessing?
The Shaykh : The Jews?
The questioner : The Jews... they are the disbelievers who affirmed...
The Shaykh : That is, the Jews affirmed it, while these people denied it, so in this matter the Jews are better than these people.
The questioner : The blessing of Allah is bound.
The Shaykh : It does not make sense, nor is the power of Allah bound. The bottom line is, we ask Allah for well-being. These distorters, these distorters have gone beyond the limit, meaning that some of them said, and some of the Salaf said: "Indeed, I, I, I speak about the statement of the Jews and the Christians, and I do not speak about the statement of the Jahmiyyah" Yes, because the statement of the Jahmiyyah is greater and more vile.
