The Kursi (footstool) in comparison to the Throne is only like an iron ring thrown in a desert on earth

عن أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: "ما الكرسي في العرش إلا كحلقة من حديد ألقيت بين ظهري فلاة من الأرض".

Abu Dharr al-Ghifāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Kursi in comparison to the Throne is only like an iron ring thrown in a desert on earth."
