And Abu Abdullah‑asws said: ‘The one who interprets a Verse from the Book of Allah-azwj by his opinion, so he has disbelieved’. [1]
(Forbidden) Tafseer (Opinionated): His Chair contains the skies and the earth, [2: 255]. Al-Tabarsee said, ‘There is differing regarding it based upon (various) words. One of these is – His-azwj Knowledge contains the skies and the earth – from Ibn Abbas, and Mujahid, and it is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws. And it is said for the scholars ‘chairs’ just as it is said to them ‘pegs of the earth’, because by them is the foundation of the religion and the world and its affirmation. The Chair over here, it is the Throne, from Al-Hassan, and rather it is named as ‘Chair’ due to part of it installed over part. And the third of it is that the intent by the ‘Chair’ over here is the Kingdom, and the Authority, and the Power, just as it is said, ‘Make chairs for this wall’, i. e. support it can be supported with until it does not fall down, nor incline. So, its meaning is, His-azwj Power surrounds the skies and the earth and whatever is within these.

Then he continued the Hadeeth up to its end just as I (Majlisi) shall be coming with the report of Ali Bin Ibrahim. then Established upon the Throne [7: 54] – From them is one who interprets the Throne over here as meaning the Kingdom. Al-Qafal said, ‘The ‘throne’ in their speech is the throne which the kings tend to sit upon’. Then he made the Throne to be a metaphor about the soul of the king. It is said, ‘His throne is broken’, i. e. , his kingdom is derogated. And they said, ‘then Established upon the Throne [7: 54]’, and He-azwj Settled upon the Throne of His-azwj Kingdom. And from them is one who interprets the Throne with the Mighty body, and the ‘established’ in the meaning of seizing, just as has passed. Al-Razy said regarding it’s interpretation, ‘The Muslims concur upon that above the skies there is a mighty body, it is the Throne, and the differing is regarding the intended with
