FUTMAK.COM الفتوحات المكية: الصفحة 70 من الجزء Two Why did he call him a human being ?

The answer: God Almighty said: What prevented you from prostrating to what I created with my hands in terms of divine honor? So the context of the situation indicates that he directly created it with his hands in accordance with what befits His majesty. So he called him a human being for that reason, since the hand means power, and there is no honor in it for the one whom He honored, and the hand In the sense of grace, like that, grace and power pervade all existing things, so his saying, “With my hands,” must have something intelligible that has a special description other than these two, which is what is understood from the tongue of the Arabs in whose language the Qur’an was revealed. If the owner of the tongue says that he did this with his hand, then what is understood from him is the nominative of the media.
