The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Is the hadith of the Awa'il regarding carrying the Throne authentic?
The Shaykh:
The Awa'il. Yes.
The questioner:
Is the hadith of the Awa'il regarding carrying the Throne authentic? And are these Awa'il from the realm of the angels?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the Awa'il are among the angels. They are angels who carried the Throne. As for their forms, Allah knows them best. We have not seen them; we have not seen them. We know their forms and their creation, but none knows them except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So we believe in what came from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the hadith of al-Abbas in the hadith. Therefore, the Shaykh and Imam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab mentioned it at the end of the Book of Tawhid. Yes.
