Khuzaymah, may Allah have mercy on him: “Whoever does not acknowledge that Allah is above His heavens, over His Throne, separate from His creation, is to be called upon to repent. If he does not repent, he is to be beheaded and thrown onto a rubbish heap, so that neither Muslims nor non-Muslims under Muslim protection are troubled by his stench.”

Abū ‘Abd Allāh ibn Battah said in al-Ibānah al-Kubrā: “The Muslims among the Companions and the Successors unanimously agreed that Allah is over His Throne, above His heavens, separate from His creation.”
