Question:
A questioner says: In our country, some of the Maturidiyyah quote from Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in his book explaining the hadith of the Descent that he likens the voice of Allah when He settles upon the Kursi to the sound of a new saddle. He asks: Is this correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct, and they did not understand. The 'Arsh (the Throne) creaks; the 'Arsh creaks and has a sound. When the Most Merciful rises above it, it makes a sound, creaking from the greatness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and His majesty. It becomes a sound, but the creaking is not from Allah; rather, the creaking is from the 'Arsh, the Kursi. Yes.
