The Maturidi View on Allah Having a Hand

Question
The Salafis say that Allah has a hand, and that He is in the sky and above the Throne, so what do we Maturidis say?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's success: It is permissible for us to interpret the hand as meaning power and so on, or we can delegate the meaning of the hand to Allah, so we do not speak about it and remain silent about it. As for affirming a physical limb for Allah, that is disbelief. And Allah knows best.
