Question:
A questioner asks: What is the authenticity of the hadith:Sahih Muslim 2612e or: ?
Answer:
The hadith is authentic.
And the meaning ofSahih Muslim 2612e is: hearing, seeing, speaking, having an eye, having a hand, and having a foot. It does not mean likeness, for nothing is like Allah: [Surat al-Ikhlas: 4]. But its meaning is that He created him in His image: hearing, seeing, having a face, having a hand, and having a foot; He knows, hears, and sees. This is what the people of the Sunnah said, such as Ahmad and Ishaq, and others, may Allah have mercy on them.
