What is meant by "shade" in the hadith (Seven will be shaded by Allah in His shade)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh :
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله
Muwatta Malik 51:14
Also, the word "shade" is a known term. Shade falls on the body or is localized. The word "shade," Shaykh, explain this to us?

The Shaykh : In truth, I am hearing the echo of your voice; I do not understand.

The questioner : The word "shade"
There are seven whom Allah will shade in His shade سبعة يظلهم الله في ظله
Muwatta Malik 51:14
in the shade of the Most Merciful.

The Shaykh : The hadith
Seven will be shaded by Allah سبعة يظلهم الله
.

The questioner : So shade comes from a body, so the word "shade" here in the hadith.

The Shaykh : The hadith is explained in another narration:
Seven will be shaded under His shade سبعة يظلهم تحت ظله
the other narration is:
Under the shade of His Throne تحت ظل عرشه
the shade of the Throne.

The questioner : So it is not the shade of Allah?

The Shaykh : No, it is the shade of the Throne.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
