Why was the authentic Hadith, authenticated by Al-Albani, not included in the exegesis of Ayatul-Kursi—a Hadith that describes the Kursi as a distinct, self-subsisting entity, refutes its interpretation as kingdom or knowledge, and is considered the clearest narration regarding the description of the Kursi, while also clarifying the weakness of other opinions?
The Kursi (Footstool) is the place of the Lord's two feet, Glorified and Exalted be He. The authenticity of the hadith is disputed, and it is not a definitive text for interpreting the noble verse. The difference of opinion regarding the interpretation of the Kursi in the verse is well-known among exegetes (mufassirin) from the Salaf and those who came after them.
