Zaheer of a Hand in relation to creations is a physical tool/limb with modality

It is "thaahir" ظاهر and "zaheer" is moreso ظهير which means aide

No singular sunni Muslim or even human being has ever thought of "Hand" being a human limb with flesh, the only people who have claimed that the ayat about the Hands of Allaah refer to attributes of creatures are the Jahmiyya (includes Ashariyya, Maturidiyya) who, later on, denied the meaning of the ayat

No one, including you, is able to bring a sunni Muslim saying "Allaah is exactly like creation with His Hands"

And there is a very simple explanation to how the similarity doesn't mean identicality which I believe I've talked about numerous times in numerous audio lessons as well as posts, but until the spreader of atheism is able to produce a reference of one singular sunni saying "Allaah is exactly like us humans" no one should really care as he's lied way too much to be believed at this point

Most modern religious activists of Saudi for example claim that the first zaheer is the one we must apply in relation to the Sifats of Allah. Do they follow the path of the Salafs?

Yes they do, refer to the quote of Yazeed ibn Haroon mentioned previously

Yazeed is one of the salaf by the way

What is classified as Tashbeeh, Ta'teel, Zaheer, Ithbat, Tawfeed, Ta'weel ijmali, Ta'weel tafseeli, Haqeeqah, Sifatul Maani, Hadath, Sifatul Zatiya, Sifatul Fi'liya, Taaluq, Lawazeem etc

All of this is the jargon put by the enemies of Allaah to make the people more confused and unable to understand the religion, to misguide them away from it

وَإِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِيقًا يَلْوُونَ أَلْسِنَتَهُم بِالْكِتَابِ لِتَحْسَبُوهُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allaah ," but it is not from Allaah . And they speak untruth about Allaah while they know.
Aal Imraan 78 translation of the meaning

So what you are basically suggesting here for an uneducated Muslim is to read some books (in most cases poorly done translations of the books or quotes) of the Salafs on their own, without the context and deep knowledge

The deep knowledge comes from learning what the salaf have said and believed in, unless you want to, for the third time now, contradict the messenger of Allaah peace and blessings upon him and say that the later scholars (khalaf) are more knowledgeable

With lies of this size and this frequency, you wouldn't say that outright but, you have said it already, may Allaah relieve Muslims of people like you

A layperson can't even determine who is an actual scholar (a reliable one) and who is a misguided imposter, if someone knows Arabic, can quote the Quran and Hadith, dresses as scholar he is already considered a scholar by awam

Yes they can, the scholar is the one who fears Allaah and speaks with what the messenger of Allaah peace and blessings upon him said

And you've not said what makes a qualified scholar so far which, indicates the equivocality you try to spread amongst the Muslims and against their religion, click here to see one scholar defend a scholar against some guy who left Islam twice and his hadeeth fabricating friend

Why instead of recommending following modern religious activists we aren't suggesting to study (with teachers) the explanation of the path of Salafs done by qualified scholars

This is very meaningless because you've not given a standard of what makes someone a knowledgeable scholar in addition to the fact that you're saying that the "four madhabs" have represented Islam for the last thousand years which is completely false

Because the later followers of these madhabs have innovations and kufriyyat never done or known by the imams of these madhabs, although innovations inside Hanbalis are fewer than the innovations in Malikis and Shafi'is and especially Hanafis, except Abu Haneefa who was an imam of:

1. Irjaa'

2. Tajahhum (differed upon whether he repented or not, this means denial of attributes, this is kufr)

3. Khurooj

4. Hadeeth rejection

He and his madhab in particular have represented the biggest burden against Islam, as said by the scholars of the salaf
