There is a linguistic issue here. What is the issue? And what is the answer to it? Mubhab
The student: The deletion of the protective nun

The Shaykh : The deletion of the protective nun, or the nun of the verb?
The student: Or the nun of the verb, one of the two nuns

The Shaykh : Which of them?

His statement:
Will you not trust me ألا تأمنوني
means, "Do you not consider me trustworthy?"
I am the truth worthy man of the One in the Heavens وأنا أمين من في السماء
Sahih al-Bukhari 4351
The One in the sky is Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and He is the Trustee over the revelation, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is trustworthy regarding the revelation; he is the master of the trustworthy ones (peace and blessings be upon him). The messenger who brings down the revelation is also trustworthy.
(19) [That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger (20) [Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position], (21) Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy. إنه لقول رسول كريم ذي قوة عند ذي العرش مكين مطاع ثم أمين
[At-Takwir 81:19-21]
Then a trustworthy one ثم أمين
Now, this has a reason.
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed the war spoils, so a man said to him: Be just. He said: Will you not trust me, while I am the trusted one of those in the heavens أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قسم غنائم فقال له : رجل اعدل فقال: ألا تأمنوني وأنا أمين من في السماء
And the "presentation" here,
Indeed ألا
regarding the presentation, is as if he is saying, "Trust me, for I am trustworthy; the One in the sky is trustworthy." So we say: Yes, we trust the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we believe that he is the master of the trustworthy ones (peace and blessings be upon him).
The point is his saying:
the One in the heaven من في السماء
And we say in it what we said previously. Okay
He said: And his saying
And the Throne is above the water, and Allah is above the Throne, and He knows what you are upon والعرش فوق الماء والله فوق العرش وهو يعلم ما أنتم عليه
is a good hadith
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the distances between the heavens, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And the Throne is above the water والعرش فوق الماء
So between the seventh heaven and the Throne is a sea, a sea between its bottom and its top, just as between the heaven and the earth. And the Throne is above the water. And this is witnessed by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and His Throne had been upon water وكان عرشه على الماء
[Hud 11:7]
He said:
By Allah, He is above the Throne, and He knows what you are upon. والله فوق العرش وهو يعلم ما أنتم عليه
(Glorified and Exalted is He) He is above the Throne, and yet nothing of our conditions is hidden from Him. Indeed, Allah the Exalted said:
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him ولقد خلقنا الأنسان ونعلم ما تُوسوس به نفسه
[Qaf 50:16]
meaning the thing in your heart, Allah knows it, even though it has not become apparent to anyone, not even you have spoken it, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) knows it
