Ibn Wahb said that a man came to Imaam Maalik and said: \"O Abu `Abdillah,  The Ever-Merciful Istawaa upon the Throne; how did He Istawaa?\"  

Maalik looked down and (started to sweat) (out of anger). Then he raised  his head and said: \"Ar-Rahmaan (The Ever-Merciful) Istawaa as He described Himself. How, is not valid here. How, is irrelevant about  Him. You are an innovator, take him out.\"

Yes amatullah... I heard of this... this is why i was VERY skeptical about starting this thread... I am afraid that it would cause fitna... May allah prevent this... ameen...

Well i read the hadith in "aqidatul wasatiyah" by imam ibn Taymiyyah.... i looked it up in bukhari and found it there...

Honestly i cant remember the EXACT reference sorry:o

I wish i could help you better...

I'll tell you what.. if i find it i will post it here, if you find it then post it ok... the exact hadith no. Meanwhile you can post the reference in Tirmidhee that you found...

Jazakumullahil khair for the help of all of you...
