Multani's ability that modifies its power and toughness applies only while it's on the battlefield. In all other zones, it's a 0/0 creature card.

Wizards of the Coast 27 Apr 2018

To activate Multani's last ability, you must return lands you control from the battlefield to their owner's hand. Land cards in your graveyard can't be returned this way.
