Does the Throne's making a sound when Allah settles upon it mean that Allah has weight?
Shaykh Al-Albani graded the hadith of Abu Dawud as weak, and Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtani graded the hadith "When the Lord sits" as weak. It is not authentic regarding the description of the Kursi that it creaks like the creaking of a new saddle, nor that four angels carry it. All of this is not authentically مرفوع (traced back to the Prophet) from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Based on the lack of authenticity of this hadith, there is no need to search for its meaning.
