4275. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said: "I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say on the pulpit: 'The Compeller (Al-Jabbâr) will seize His heavens and His earths in His Hand' - and he clenched his hand and started to open and close it - 'Then He will say: "I am The Compeller, I am the King. Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogants?" And the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was leaning to his right and his left, until I could see the pulpit shaking at the bottom, and I thought that it would fall alongwith the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ." (Sahih)

Commentary
The Hand of Allâh is among His attributes; it is just as it suits His Glory. Explaining or likening it with the hand of a human being is not correct.
Speaking is one of the attributes of Allâh, whenever He wants, He speaks, and the creature to whom the Almighty addresses hears His speech as He spoke to Musa ﷺ, and as He speaks to angels. Similarly, He will speak to His slaves on the Day of Judgment.
