>despite that haddith
It's literally the same wording. Whatever the understanding scholars get from it is irrelevant. But even then Athari muslims do not consider it metaphorical at all. They believe God has an actual face, hand, etc (https://islamqa.info/en/answers/20652/how-did-allah-create-adam-in-his-image) and they are called anthropomorphists as a criticism against them because of this by the Ashari. The bible says Jesus is the image of an invisible God btw.
>The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. - Colossians 1:15
So clearly it is not talking in literal terms. Because if it did then it means the Father and the Holy Spirit took on flesh.
