But the majority of the people of language say that the least gathering is three, and if the gathering goes to two in these texts for a reason, otherwise the least gathering in origin is three.

Or we say that the intended meaning by this gathering is glorification; glorification of this hand and not meaning that Allah the Exalted has more than two.

Then the intended meaning by the hand here is the essence that has a hand, and Allah the Exalted said: "And appeared the corruption in the land and the sea because of what the hands of the people earned."

And for this, we say: that the cattle, which are the camels, Allah the Exalted did not create them by His hand, and it is different between His saying: "of what our hands did," and between His saying: "of what I created with My hands;" thus: "of what our hands did;" as if it said: of what we have done; because the intended meaning is by the hand of Allah that has a hand, and the intended meaning by 'My hands': the two hands without the essence.
