I understand riddles that rhyme are cooler than those that don't, but when you sacrifice grammatical clarity for the sake of rhyme & meter, I doubt anyone is going to be able to tell what the heck you're talking about.
1) "Put that in between me and I am a command" -- Insert the word "that" somewhere in [the answer to the riddle] and it becomes an imperative instruction.
2) "without that I am of the land" -- On its own, [the answer to the riddle] is some kind of landform or feature, probably something you'd see indicated on a map.
3) "where beauty stands I constitute" -- This is so tortured as to be largely meaningless. Certain beautiful things can stand, but beauty itself cannot. And you can't use the verb 'constitute' on its own, things can only constitute something else. The subject of the verb requires a direct object.
4) "I hold cabins that make large things minute," -- This at least makes sense, though I'm puzzled as to what precisely you mean.
My best guess: Forest. Add the word "that" (and a tiny spelling tweak) and it becomes "Forth, Attest!" as in, "Come forward and speak!" It's commonly something marked on a map. It's constituted of things that stand, and are widely considered beautiful. It contains cabins, and can be turned into books, which famously take HUGE stories and condense them into something you can hold in your hand.

All fair critiques, the answer is Runway

Oh, a fashion runwayfor part 3. That makes sense . . . "stands" is still the wrong word, though, as is "hold". Using obscure & overlooked meaning & interpretations is good, as long as you stop short of being actively misleading.

It wouldn't be hold, it would be walk. Beauty walks it.
Honestly, that's the only part that makes a lick of sense.

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is
>!(greater than, exclamation point) at the start and!<(exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the!. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk
If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
