Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the disagreement over which was created first, the Throne or the Pen, a disagreement that occurred among the Salaf or among the later generations?
Answer:
This is a matter of intelligence that Ibn al-Qayyim reported from those before him among the Salaf, based on the texts. That is, which is given precedence: was the Throne created first, or was the Pen created first? The correct view is that the Throne was first, as indicated by the hadith. This is a matter that is easy; that is, whoever says that the Pen was first or that the Throne was first, it is an easy matter with no difficulty. Yes.
