Some scholars, such as Ibn Baz, rejected Mujahid's statement that the Praiseworthy Station is that the Lord sits with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Throne

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the view of Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him), the Praiseworthy Station is that the Lord sits with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Throne. Some of the Imams of Islam rejected this and preferred the view that the Praiseworthy Station is intercession, such as Ibn Bazar (may Allah have mercy on him) and others. What is the correct view in this matter?

The Shaykh:
The Praiseworthy Station includes intercession, and it includes Allah seating His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Throne. Some of the Imams authenticated this, and it is reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no contradiction between these two; both are a Praiseworthy Station.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The statement of one of the scholars has confused me.

The Shaykh:
What does Ibn Baz say?

The questioner:
He says: Some of the Imams of Islam rejected this, and they preferred the view that the Praiseworthy Station is intercession. Among those is Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) and other scholars.

The Shaykh:
Even if this is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), nothing else was established for them.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The statement of one of the scholars has confused me.

The Shaykh:
As was mentioned to you or to those of you present, Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned this view in his al-Nuniyyah. This view is found in the commentaries on the al-Nuniyyah.
