The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The report (athar) narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) in his interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Isra 17:79], in which Mujahid said, “He places him on the Throne.” Does this report contradict the authentic, established hadiths regarding the meaning of the Station of Praise (al-Maqam al-Mahmud), which is intercession?
The Shaykh:
All of them interpret the "Mahmoud Station" in this way. As long as the evidence is established for this, it is interpreted as intercession and as being seated with Him on the Throne. Yes. There is no contradiction between them. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned this in his *Al-Nuniyyah*. He mentioned the issue of being seated on the Throne in *Al-Nuniyyah* and affirmed it. Yes.
