The hadith of "Allah's right hand on earth"?

No, this is a report from Ibn Abbas; it is not marfu' (traced to the Prophet), but rather mawquf (stopping at a Companion).
Q: What is it understood to mean?
A: Its meaning is that touching it is an act of nearness to Allah, as if one were shaking hands with Allah. Whoever touches it is as if he has shaken hands with his Lord; this is to encourage touching it and to make it desirable.
Q: Encouraging the touching?
A: Encouraging the touching.
Q: But is it far from likening (Allah to creation)?
