The ruling on forcing an interpretation of the shade in the hadith of the seven

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks about the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shadeصلى الله عليه وسلم سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله
Muwatta Malik 51:14
What is meant by the shade here? Is it the shade of the Throne? And what is the authenticity of the statement of some people regarding the shade that Allah creates a shade on the Day of Resurrection and shades with it whom He wills of His creation?

Answer:
May Allah will it, we are tasked with researching this. We answer with the text and wording of the hadith and stop there; we do not force an interpretation. What is meant by the shade? Does Allah create it? What is the reason for this? We do not force an interpretation, my brothers. Do not force an interpretation. Yes, leave it with the texts. Yes.
