It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque and sat with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the virtue of prayer, fasting and charity. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Of the verses Allah has sent down to you, which is the greatest? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Allah - there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence' [Surah al-Baqarah: 255] ", and he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the whole verse to its end. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Kursi" refers to the place of Allah Almighty's two feet, and the greatness and measure of "the Throne" cannot be estimated. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
