The Shaykh’s mention of the attribute of being above and that it is among the attributes established for Allah the Exalted by reason, let alone by transmission.

The Shaykh : And among the attributes of perfection, some are known by reason and sound innate disposition alone, and this is few, such as Allah Mighty and Majestic being above all creation. This is known simply by the knowledge that it befits Allah Mighty and Majestic to possess all attributes of perfection, such as being above creation and not the reverse; it is known by the immediate intuition of reason.
And despite this, many texts in the Book and the Sunnah explicitly state, with an explicitness beyond which no explicitness exists, that Allah Mighty and Majestic is above all creation, and some of these texts specify that He is above the Throne in particular. So the phrase which has been repeated in many noble verses is too well-known to be mentioned.
So the Throne is a creation of Allah Mighty and Majestic, indeed it is the greatest of Allah’s creations, Blessed and Exalted is He. Therefore, the explicit statement of the Lord of the Worlds that He is above the Great Throne is among the beliefs that a Muslim must adopt and not deviate from their apparent meaning to the invented, innovated meanings to which many of the scholars of kalam, known for their deviation from what the righteous Salaf were upon regarding faith in all the verses of attributes and all the hadiths of attributes, without any distortion or figurative interpretation, go.
