فمن اختلاف صفات العرش...

و قوما وصفوه بالأنامل، فقالوا: إن محمدا (صلى الله عليه و آله) قال: إني وجدت برد أنامله على قلبي And a group described Him -azwj to be with two Hands, so they said, ‘The Hand of Allah is tied up!’ [5:64] . And a group described Him -azwj to have two feet, so they said, ‘He -azwj would Place one of His -azwj Legs upon the rock of Bayt Al-Maqdis and from it He -azwj Ascended to the sky.

And a group described Him -azwj to be with the Fingers, so they said, ‘Muhammad -saww said: ‘I -saww felt the coolness of His -azwj Fingers upon my -saww heart’.

فلمثل هذه الصفات، قال: رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ يقول: رب المثل الأعلى عما به مثلوه، و لله المثل الأعلى الذي لا يشبهه شي‏ء، و لا يوصف، و لا يتوهم، فذلك المثل الأعلى So, it is for the likes of these types of description that He -azwj Said: ( Glorious is the Lord of the skies and the earth ) Lord of the Throne, from what they are ascribing [43:82] .

He -azwj is Saying: and for Allah is the Exalted Example [16:60] than the examples which He -azwj can be exemplified with, and Allah -azwj is more Exalted than the examples as none of things can resemble Him -azwj , and no description can be for Him -azwj , nor can He -azwj be come to. So that is the Exalted Example [16:60] ’’.
