I thought I would add that Ibn Baaz also believed that God sprints on top of his throne, Here is a fatwa of ibn Bazz. from his collection of fatwas:
Q: Is running an attribute of Allah?
A: yes, as it has been shown in the holy divine hadith....."and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running. narrated bukhari and muslim.
Source: Ibn Baaz, the everlasting garden for scientific research and legal opinions Vol.3 Page 196.
فتاوى اللجنة الدائمة للبحوث العلمية والإفتاء ج3ص196 :
( س : هل لله صفة الهرولة ؟
ج : نعم ، على نحو ما جاء في الحديث القدسي الشريف على ما يليق به قال تعالى : إذا تقرب إليّ العبد شبرا تقربت إليه ذراعا وإذا تقرب إليّ ذراعا تقربت منه باعاً وإذا أتاني ماشياً أتيته هرولة . رواه البخاري وسلم ).
( س : هل لله صفة الهرولة ؟
ج : نعم ، على نحو ما جاء في الحديث القدسي الشريف على ما يليق به قال تعالى : إذا تقرب إليّ العبد شبرا تقربت إليه ذراعا وإذا تقرب إليّ ذراعا تقربت منه باعاً وإذا أتاني ماشياً أتيته هرولة . رواه البخاري وسلم ).
The hadith is reprocduced below and although most sunnis understand this to be a figurative meaning. Ibn Bazz and the salaf in general believe this is a literal, physical attribute of God.
Sahih Bukhari
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 627: Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "
The heading of the subject where this fatwa was isued is called "Sifat al-harwala" , the attribute (Sifa) of running.
The fatwa issued here is number 6932
