Explanation of the author's statement: "…And his saying: 'Belief in it is obligatory' means that belief in Allah's rising above His Throne in the manner befitting Him is obligatory"

The Shaykh :"And his saying 'Belief in it is obligatory' means that belief in Allah's rising above His Throne in the manner befitting Him, in the manner befitting Him, is obligatory — why? — because Allah informed us of it about Himself, so it is obligatory to believe in Him and affirm it", so belief is obligatory in what? In the rising, and in the manner? In the rising, yes?

The questioner : …the Companions did not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this

The Shaykh : (peace and blessings be upon him)

The questioner : The Companions did not ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this … how Allah rose

The Shaykh : That is, they did not ask, … okay, fine.
, "And his saying 'And asking about it is an innovation' means that asking about the manner of the rising is an innovation, because it was not known in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions", they did not ask how He rose because they knew the meaning of the rising and knew that they would not grasp its manner, because Allah says so if we do not grasp the essence of His Self, we cannot grasp the essence of His attributes, because speaking about the attributes is a branch of speaking about the Self.
