“…‘The Most Compassionate rose over the Throne’ (20:5).” He answered, “Its explanation is exactly as you recite it: He is upon the Throne, and His knowledge is everywhere. Whoever says anything else is under the curse of Allah.”

[Statement of Muhammad ibn al-Hasan, the companion of Abū Ḥanīfah]
Abū al-Qāsim al-Lālikāʾī—a disciple of Abū Ḥāmid al-Isfarāyinī—also relates in Usūl al-Sunnah, through his chain of transmission, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan that he said: “All the jurists, from east to west, are unanimously agreed on affirming the Quran and the hadiths reliably transmitted from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning the attributes of the Lord.”}
