Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct that it is attributed to Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said the Kursi is the knowledge of Allah?
Answer:
This is not established. I say: "His Kursi encompasses His knowledge." This is not established from him. It is narrated from Ibn 'Abbas, but it is not established through a sound chain. The Kursi is the place of the feet, as in the hadith, and His Kursi encompasses the heavens and the earth; it is a vast Kursi.
