An example of that is His saying, the Most High, addressing Iblis: "What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with My hands?" [Sad: 75];

He said a speaker: In this verse is the establishment of two hands of Allah, the Exalted, by which He creates whom He wills; so we establish it; because the speech of Allah, the Exalted, is derived from knowledge and truthfulness, and His speech is the best speech and the most eloquent and the clearest, and it cannot be that He has no two hands, but He wanted people to believe that about Him, and if this were assumed, it would imply that the Quran is misguidance; because it came with a description of Allah with what is not in Him, and this is impossible; so if this were the case, it is necessary for you to believe that Allah, the Most High, has two hands with which He created Adam.
