Sand touching the Mubaarak Body of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) being more superior than the arsh

Q: I was recently asked by somebody that Hazrat Shaikh in Fazaail-e-Haj says that the sand touching the Mubaarak body of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم is more superior to the arsh, the question being is it possible for anything to be more superior over the arsh?

A: Don't delve into this. This is a belief that is agreed upon by all imaams and leading ulama. Don't unnecessarily exhaust yourself to try to understand this. It will not increase your thawaab or decrease your thawaab.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
