Kursi
كُرسيDefinition
The Footstool of Allah — distinct from the Throne in the majority Sunni position. Ayat al-Kursi (Qur'an 2:255) takes its name from this attribute. Ibn Kathir cites the hadith: the seven heavens compared to the Kursi are like a ring thrown into a desert; the Kursi compared to the 'Arsh is the same.
As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
