The Attribute of His Shadow, Glorified is He

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith of the seven who will be shaded by Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in His shadow on the Day when there is no shade except His, is it permissible to describe Allah the Exalted as having a shadow?

Answer:
Yes, as it came in the hadith, and in some narrations
In the shade of His Throneفي ظل عرشه
but in the two Sahihs it is "in His shadow," so He has a shadow befitting Him, Glorified is He. We do not know its modality, just like the other attributes. The matter is the same for the people of the Sunnah and the community. And success is from Allah.
