Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, for this clarification. The questioner from Yemen asks, saying: I hope that Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) will explain this noble verse in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ
[Al-Haqqah 69:17]
.

Answer:
Yes, the Throne has bearers from among the angels; it has bearers from the angels who carry it,
Those [angels] who carry the Throne and those around it exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and believe in Himالَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ
[Ghafir 40:7]
, and their number in this world is four. Their number in this world is four, and when the Hour comes, four others are added to them, making them eight,
And there will bear the Throne of your Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them].وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ
[Al-Haqqah 69:17]
, in addition to the four who were carrying it at first; four joined them, so they become eight. His saying "on that Day" means at the time of the Hour. And in the verse is evidence of the exaltation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) above His creation: "Bearers of the Throne of your Lord above them"
the Throne of your Lord above themعَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ
[Al-Haqqah 69:17]
. Yes.
