Ibn Baz said:
โHe is elevated above His Throne with an elevation that befits Him, Mighty and Majestic, not resembling the elevation of a human on a bed, nor his elevation on animals, nor his elevation on a ship โ the ship which Allah mentioned in His saying: โAnd He made for you from ships and cattle what you ride, so that you may sit balanced on its back, then remember the blessing of your Lord when you are settled upon it, and say: Glory be to the One who subjected this to us, and we could not have done so on our own, and surely to our Lord we will return.โ
So the istiwa of a created being upon something cannot resemble the istiwa of Allah over His Throne, because nothing is like Allah.โ
[Ibn Baz โFatawa muhimmah li-'umum al-ummahโ p.14 Dar Al-Asimah - Riyadh]
Ibn al-Uthaymeen repeats exactly the same words in โFiqh al Ibadatโ [p.13 Al-Uthaymeen Charitable Foundation Edition and Madar al Watan Edition].
Those who misinterpret al-Nasaโiโs mentioning of the hadith of mounting (istawa) a camel, thinking that al-Nasaโi mentioned in to prove istawa of Allah, are mistaken.
As explained already in my previous thread, al-Nasaโiโs mention of the hadith was the Quranic verse in it from Surah az Zukhruf and how the verses in that Surah link with verses in Surah Fussilat.
