Chapter on how Allah created Adam, peace be upon him, and a clear explanation that He created him with His two hands, not with His two blessings, as claimed by the Jahmiyyah, who deny His attributes. They said:
“Allah, through His blessing, takes a handful from all parts of the earth and creates a human being from it.”
This is the sixth report from the Sunnah affirming the hand of the Creator, the Maker—majestic and exalted is He.
بَابُ ذِكْرِ صِفَةِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَالْبَيَانِ الشَّافِي أَنَّهُ خَلْقَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ، لَا بِنِعْمَتَيْهِ، عَلَى مَا زَعَمَتِ الْجَهْمِيَّةُ الْمُعَطِّلَةُ،
إِذْ قَالَتْ:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْبِضُ بِنِعْمَتِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَرْضِ قَبْضَةً , فَيَخْلُقُ مِنْهَا بَشَرًا، وَهَذِهِ السُّنَّةُ السَّادِسَةُ فِي إِثْبَاتِ الْيَدِ لِلْخَالِقِ الْبَارِئِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا
