I put Books to the Test of Life
Affirming that Allah has a foot, understanding these attributes in a literal sense without metaphorically—distorting their meaning (Tahreef), without denying them (Tateel), without saying ‘how’ they are (Takyeef) and without likening Him to His creation (Tamteel).
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Hell will keep saying, ‘Are there any more (to come)?’ until the Lord of Glory, may He be blessed and exalted, places His foot on it, then it will say, ‘Enough, enough, by Your glory!’ And all its parts will be integrated together.” (Sahih Al Bukhari 6661 and Sahih Muslim 2848)
This indicates that it is confirmed that Allah, may He be exalted, has a foot.
Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Kursiy (foot stool) is the place of the two feet, and the size of Throne cannot be known.”
Abu Ismā`īl Al-Harawī (481H) with his chain of narration to Ibn `Abbās (رضي الله عنه) who said: “Indeed the Kursee (Footstool) is the place of the two Feet [of Allāh], and none is able to estimate the greatness of the Throne with its true estimation.”

Note:
This hadeeth establishes the `aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamā`ah in the following:- The affirmation of the attribute of the two Feet of Allāh in a manner that befits His Majesty, without likeness with the created beings.
- The belief in the Kursee (Footstool) and that it is the place of the Feet of the Lord.
- The belief in the mighty Throne (the `Arsh).
- That both the Footstool and the `Arsh are creations of Allāh.
- Ibn `Uthaimeen (rahimahullāh) stated: Though this is a statement of Ibn `Abbās, it is nevertheless ascribed to the Messenger (salallāhu `alaihi wassallam), because this is an affair where ijtihād has no place.
- The Prophet (salallāhu `alaihi wassallam) said: ((مَا السَّمَوَاتُ السَّبْعُ فِي الكُرْسِيِّ إِلاَّ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ بِأَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ، وَفَضْلُ العَرْشِ عَلَى الكُرْسِيِّ كَفَضْلِ تِلْكَ الفَلاَةِ عَلَى تِلْكَ الحَلْقَةِ)) “The Seven Heavens as compared to the Footstool is naught except like a ring thrown out into an open desert; and the greatness of the Throne over the Footstool is like that desert over that ring.” Authenticated by Al-Albānee in As-Silsilatus-Saheehah 1/174.
