أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّامِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ ، كَتَبَ فِي كِتَابِهِ يَكْتُبُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ، وَهُوَ مَرْفُوعٌ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ : أَنَّ رَحْمَتِيَ تَغْلِبُ غَضْبَى " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَهُوَ مَرْفُوعٌ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ " مِنْ أَلْفَاظِ الأَضْدَادِ الَّتِي تَسْتَعْمِلَ الْعَرَبُ فِي لُغَتِهَا ، يُرِيدُ بِهِ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ ، لا فَوْقَهُ ، كَقَوْلِهِ جَلا وَعَلا : وَكَانَ وَرَاءَهُمْ مَلِكٌ سورة الكهف آية 79 يُرِيدُ بِهِ : أَمَامَهُمْ ، إِِذْ لَوْ كَانَ وَرَاءَهُمْ لَكَانُوا قَدْ جَاوَزُوهُ ، وَنَظِيرُ هَذَا قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ وَعَلا : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلا مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا سورة البقرة آية 26 أَرَادَ بِهِ : فَمَا دُونَهَا .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When Allah Almighty created the creation, He wrote in His Book what He made obligatory upon Himself, and that writing is placed above the Throne (and in it is written): 'Indeed, My mercy prevails over My wrath.'"
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "It is placed above the Throne," relates to the expressions used by the Arabs in their idioms, although what is meant is 'under the Throne,' not 'above the Throne.' Just as Allah Almighty says: "Behind them is a king," what is meant is 'ahead of them is a king,' for if he were behind, those people would have already passed by. Its example is the saying of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, Allah is not ashamed to set forth the example of a mosquito or what is above it (as an example)," meaning what is less than a mosquito.
