The Shaykh : Yes, Yahya.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. You clarified the description of the hands. Everything that remains, we say... "The hand of Allah" here, the hand is singular.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner :[Al-Fath 48:10]
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner :[Al-Fath 48:10]
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The hand here is singular.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : And their hands are also [plural].
The Shaykh : Jam'ah
The questioner : Jam'ah
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : You did not clarify that.
The Shaykh : ... We have not mentioned here except one verse on the subject. So what is the problem?
The questioner : There is no problem, but someone might say, for example, "The hand of Allah" here is singular, and there...
The Shaykh : Yes, well done. If we had been patient for a night, the attribute of the two eyes would also come. The two eyes came in the plural and singular, and the hand came in the plural, singular, and dual. But I say, my brothers, Allah the Exalted said[Adh-Dhariyat 51:47], meaning by strength. Do you consider the deniers of attributes...
The student: No.
The Shaykh : No, my brothers, I say, the intended meaning is strength.
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Correct.
The Shaykh : And I will not become a denier of attributes, if Allah wills. Yes, why?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Ah, because it was not attributed to Allah; He did not attribute it to Allah. Also, the Qur'an explains parts of itself.[An-Nazi'at 79:27-28] [An-Naba 78:12], meaning strong. And thus, means by strength. here is not the plural of hand, but what is it equal to?
The student: It means...
The Shaykh : But what is its grammatical form? Is it a noun of the agent (ism fa'il) or a noun of the patient (ism maf'ul) or what?
The student: Noun of the patient.
The Shaykh : Noun of the patient. There is no god but Allah.
The student: ... Noun of the agent.
The Shaykh : It is a verbal noun (masdar). The verb is "ayda" (to strengthen), "ayyida," "ayyada." Its counterpart in the verbal noun is "ba'a" (to sell), "yabī'u," "bay'an." Clear? Good. So it is not the plural of hand.
The questioner : O Shaykh... "bi-ayd" ... writing, meaning with a hand.
The Shaykh : Ah, this is the Uthmanic script.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, the known rule is that the Uthmanic script is contrary to the standard grammatical measure. Did you understand? Yes.
The questioner : We have, meaning...
The Shaykh : Five
The questioner : ...
