Did the Salaf mean a manner when they said that the meaning of "istawa" (rising above the Throne) is "settled" and "ascended"?

The questioner:
The questioner: In al-Baghawi's tafsir, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted , he (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Muqatil said "settled," Abu 'Ubaydah said "ascended," and the Mu'tazilah said "dominated." The question is: Did Muqatil and Abu 'Ubaydah mean by "settled" and "ascended" that it was with a manner? Yes, "settled" and "ascended" without a manner; we do not know the manner.

The Shaykh:
These are the expressions of the Salaf. Ibn al-Qayyim said, and they have... Yes, yes.

The questioner:
They have expressions regarding it.

The Shaykh:
It has been established for the horseman who strikes, and it settles, and it is high, and likewise it rises, which contains no denial. And likewise it ascends, which is the fourth. These four—these are transmitted from the Salaf: ascended, rose, settled, and was high.

The presenter:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father.

The Shaykh:
This is the fourth: was high, and rose, and ascended, and settled. These are the interpretations of the Salaf. This is an interpretation of the meaning. This is an interpretation of the meaning, not an interpretation of the manner. Yes.
