[Āl ʿImrān 55]. He, glorified and exalted be He, also said, ‘They certainly did not kill him. {157} Rather, Allah raised him to Himself’ [al-Nisāʾ 157–158].”

He said: “The Muslim community is unanimously agreed that Allah raised Jesus to heaven.” He also said: “Among the supplications of all Muslims, when they turn to Allah concerning an affliction that has befallen them, are the words, ‘O You who dwell upon the Throne,’ or ‘O You who are veiled by the Throne or by seven heavens.’”

This is an explicit statement on his part that Allah is veiled by created bodies. According to his opponents among the proponents of negation, both his own followers and others, this entails that He is a body occupying space.
