from above, not from below. Both of these proofs are innate and rational, for human hearts are naturally disposed to acknowledge that Allah is on high and that He is invoked from above, not from below. Another explicit wording from him confirms this; he said, “If someone denies that He is in the heaven, he has fallen into unbelief.”

That very wording was transmitted from him with its full chain of transmission by Shaykh al-Islam Abū Ismāʿīl al-Anṣārī al-Harawī.
