The verse is: And rise at ˹the last˺ part of the night, offering additional prayers, so your Lord may raise you to a station of praise.{{qref|17|79|s=y|b=y}}
In the books of [[Tafsir]] (interpretation of the Qur'an), authors indicated that the Praiseworthy Station (al-Maqam al-Mahmud) mentioned in the above verse is the most highest place in Paradise, which will be granted to the Prophet Muhammad and none else, and the position of intercession ([[Shafa'a]]) will be giving to him by permission of Allah/God on behalf of the believers on the Day of Judgment. The Prophet Muhammad will intercede on their behalf, so that Allah/God will relieve them of the suffering of such a situation. However, the Hanbalites interpreted the Praiseworthy Station as the seating of the Prophet Muhammad by Allah/God on the Throne, despite the overall weakness of the narrations supporting it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.naqshbandi.ca/pages/prophete.php?id_article=167|title=The Prophet's (s) Seating on the Throne|author=[[Gibril Fouad Haddad]]|website=www.naqshbandi.ca|publisher=Naqshbandi Order in Montreal|archive-url=https://archive.
Al-Tabari is said to have declared bluntly that it was absurd. Moreover, he recited:<ref>{{cite book|author=Hussein Ahmad Amin|title=Sorrowful Muslim's Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5DNJEAAAQBAJ|publisher=[[Edinburgh University Press]]|publication-date=2018|isbn=9781474437097|page=90}}</ref>

Upon hearing this, the fanatic Hanbali followers attacked him fiercely, and stoned his residence and caused a serious disturbance which had to be subdued by force. Trouble with the Hanbalites that took a similar form was also reported at the time of al-Tabari's death. In connection with it, Nazuk is mentioned as chief of police. He was appointed to this position only in 310/922, the year al-Tabari died, but he appears to have held high positions in the police before, and may already have been in charge of al-Tabari's protection against potential Hanbalite violence. In 309/921, the [[Vizier|wazir]] 'Ali b. 'Isa had offered al-Tabari the opportunity to debate the matter with the Hanbalites in his residence. Al-Tabari agreed, but the Hanbalites did not show up. However, shortly before his death, Hanbalite rioters supposedly pelted his house with stones so numerous that they formed a large wall in front of it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://darelhilal.com/News/705079.aspx|title=فقه الاختلاف ومحنة الإمام الطَبري|trans-title=The Jurisprudence of Disagreement and the Ordeal of Imam al-Tabari|language=ar|website=darelhilal.com|publisher=[[w:ar:دار الهلال|Dar al-Hilal]]|archive-url=https://archive.
According to [[Franz Rosenthal]], "The role of Hanbalite hostility, though real, seems to have been exaggerated in connection with his death as it was in his life."{{sfn|Rosenthal|1989|p=78}} He further adds that "Those who knew Tabari best always played down the inconveniences he suffered from the Hanbalites."{{sfn|Rosenthal|1989|p=77}}
