What prevented you performing Sajda to what I Created with My Two hands?

What prevented you performing Sajda to what I Created with My Two hands? [38:75] ’. فقال: «اليد في كلام العرب القوة و النعمة. قال: وَ اذْكُرْ عَبْدَنا داوُدَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ و قال: وَ السَّماءَ بَنَيْناها بِأَيْدٍ أي بقوة وَ إِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ و قال: وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ أي قواهم. و يقال: لفلان عندي يد بيضاء، أي نعمة So he -asws said: ‘The ‘hand’ in the speech of the Arabs is (means) the strength and the favour.

He -azwj Said: and remember Our servant Dawood, the possessor of the hand (strength) [38:17] . And Said: And the sky, We Built it by Hand – i.e. by Strength and We are the Expanders [51:47] . And Said: and He Supported them with a Spirit from Him [58:22] , i.e. Strengthened them. And it is said, ‘For so and so there is a white hand with me’, i.e. a favour’.

[11] Point 9: وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ Finally, the speaker cites Holy Verse 39:67 and implies that people did not appreciated Allah -azwj as He -azwj came again and again in the figures of Masomeen -asws . Reply to Point 9: Since the speaker did interpretation on his ‘qias’ (analogy), he went totally opposite, please the Holy Verse and its interpretation from Masomeen -asws .

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ {67} And they are not appreciating Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him; and the whole of the earth would be in His Grip on the Day of Judgement, and the skies having been rolled up in His Right Hand.

Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [39:67] محمد بن يعقوب: عن محمد بن إسماعيل، عن الفضل بن شاذان، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن‏ ربعي بن عبد الله، عن الفضيل بن يسار، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) يقول: «إن الله لا يوصف، و كيف يوصف و قد قال في كتابه: وَ ما قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ، فلا يوصف بقدر إلا كان أعظم من ذلك Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al-Fazal-Bin Shazan, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e Bin Abdullah, from Al-Fazeyl Bin Yasaar who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘Allah -azwj cannot be described.

And how can He -azwj be described and He -azwj has Said in His -azwj Book: And they are not appreciating Allah with the appreciation that is due to Him [39:67] , so He -azwj cannot be described with an appreciation, but He -azwj would be greater than that’.
