A --- الأدلة لا تُحصى: رسول الله ﷺ

وَالْعَرْشُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ، وَاللَّهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ، وَهُوَ يُدَبِّرُ الْمُلْكَ مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَمَاوَاتٍ». (رواه أبو داود والترمذي) وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَرَّةً لِجَارِيَةٍ: «أَيْنَ اللَّهُ؟» فَقَالَتْ: «فِي السَّمَاءِ». فَقَالَ ﷺ لِسَيِّدِهَا: «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ». (رواه مسلم وأحمد)
says: "And the Throne is above that, and Allah is Above the Throne, He rules the Dominion from above seven firmaments”. l (Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi) Once, the Prophet (Peace be uP9n him) said to a slave girl: "Where is Allah?” She said: "At Heaven." He (Peace be upon him) said (to its master): "Set her free for she is a believer.”(Muslim and Ahmed)
الأحاديث الواردة في معراج النبي ﷺ إلى السماوات (المعراج) تثبت علوّ الله في المكان.
The Hadiths of the Prophet's (Peace be upon him) Ascension to Heavens [Al-Mi `raj] prove Allah's Highness in Place.
قال ﷺ: «يَتَعَاقَبُ فِيكُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ: كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي؟»
He (Peace be upon him) says: "Angels come to you in succession by night and day and all of them get together at the time of the Fajr and' Asr prayers. Those who have passed the night with you (or stayed with you)
ٱرتفعوا إلى السماء، فيسألهم اللهُ، وهو أعلمُ بكم: "كيف تركتم عبادي؟" فيقولون: "تركناهم وهم يصلّون، وأتيناهم وهم يصلّون". (البخاري ومسلم)، حديث ضعيف
ascend (to the Heaven) and Allah asks them, though He knows everything about you, well, "In what state did you leave my slaves?" The angels reply: "When we left them they were praying and when we reached them, they were praying."(Bukhari and Muslim)'A Weak Hadith.
قال ﷺ: «مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ -وَلَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَى اللهِ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبُ- فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَأْخُذُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ
He (Peace be upon him) says: "If somebody gives in charity something equal to a date from his honestly earned money -for nothing ascends to Allah except good -then Allah will take it in His Right (Hand)
وَيُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهَا كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ». (البخاري ومسلم)
and bring it up for its owner as anyone of you brings up a baby horse, till it becomes like a mountain”. (Bukhari and Muslim)
قال: «إذا قضى الله الأمر في السماء ضربت الملائكة بأجنحتها خضعاناً لقوله، كأنه سلسلة على صفوان».
He (Peace be upon him) says: "When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the angels beat with their wings in obedience to His Statement which sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement:
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا الْحَقَّ ۖ
“Until when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, “ What was it that your Lord said?” {They reply, '(He has said) the Truth.
وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ}. (34:23)" (صحيح البخاري)
And He is the Most High, The Great}. (34:23)" (Sahih Bukhari)
جميع المسلمين أثبتوا هذه الصفات لله تعالى، إلا الجهمية (أي أتباع جهم بن صفوان).
All Muslims admitted these Attributes to Allah the Almighty but the Jahmyyiah (i.e. followers of Jahm Ibn Safwan).
