Is it correct that some of the Salaf interpreted the Footstool as the place where the feet of the Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, are placed?

The questioner:
Now, the last question, may Allah preserve you. What is reported from the Salaf regarding their interpretation of the Footstool as the place where the feet of the Lord, Exalted and Majestic is He, are placed?

The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. This is said about Ibn Abbas, and Allah knows best.

The questioner:
Is it established from him, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Look with us.

The questioner:
I say it is established from him.

The Shaykh:
By Allah, I did not follow it.

The questioner:
Now, is it established as marfu' (traced to the Prophet)?

The Shaykh:
It is established.

The questioner:
It is established as marfu'.

The Shaykh:
It does not require attention.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah preserve you. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. Peace be upon you. The 'Id al-Adha of the Thursday, the twenty-first of the month of Safar, in the year 1418.
