So if the Interpretation of rising over as (settling) is authentic from him, we set for it Al-Ḥadd, Faith, and affirmation, and we know of settling what we know of rising over, and we say: It is not a settling that follows fatigue and agitation, rather it is however He willed, and as He willed, and the "how" of it is unknown, and Faith in it is obligatory, just as we say regarding rising over equally. End quote. [Ibn Taymiyya's Bayān Talbīs al-Jahmiyya (6/403)]

12 - Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH), May Allah have mercy on him.
And he gathered these meanings in al-Nūniyya (2/361), saying:

They are: settled, and has risen high, and likewise ascended, which contains no denial.
