`Abdul Wahhaab bin `Abdul Hakeem al-Warraaq mentioned the
statement of Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما:
“The distance between the Seventh Heaven and the
Kursee (Footstool and it is other than al-`Arsh (Throne)) is Seven Thousand
(veils of) Noor (light) and He تعالى
is above that (`Arsh – the way it befits His Majesty).”
Then `Abdul Wahhaab said: “Whoever
claims that Allaah is here (on this earth), then he is a filthy Jahmee. Allaah تعالى
is above the `Arsh and His knowledge encompasses the world and the Hereafter.”
`Abdul Wahhaab was Thiqah (a reliable scholar), a Haafidh
(the one who memorized a lot of Ahaadeeth) and a man of great esteem. Among
those who narrated from him where Abu Dawood, al-Nasaa’ee and al-Tirmidhee (in their
respective books). It was said to Imaam Ahmad رحمه الله: After your (demise),
whom should we approach to ask questions? He said: “Ask `Abdul Wahhaab” and he
mentioned him with praises.
