Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And He fills you. He narrated to us in your explanation, may Allah and His blessings be upon you, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: “The Kursi (Footstool).” It was said that it is other than the Throne. And I said:
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
I.
The Shaykh:
It is not me. No, the Kursi (Footstool) is other than the Throne. I did not say the Kursi is the Throne. The Kursi is other than the Throne. The Kursi is a created thing, and the Throne is a created thing. Did I not say this? Yes. The one who said that the Kursi is the Throne is wrong, and the one who said that the Kursi is knowledge is wrong. The correct view is that the Kursi is a created thing other than the Throne. Yes.
