Nounكُرْسِىٌّ3 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a throne, a chair; a seat for one person; a support for a wallgenerated

1figurative · مجازa throne; a chair—سَرِيرٌ

The word is sometimes كِرْسِىٌّ.

A seat not larger than is enough for one person, [and a stool].

Plural كَرَاسِىٌّ, and sometimes كَرَاسٍ, following a rule mentioned by ISk.

It is the seat of the king and of the learned man. Hence, as used in the Qur’ān 2:256, it is explained as meaning dominion; and the power of God, by which He holds the heavens and the earth; and knowledge — this last explanation being ascribed to I‘Ab. But the truth is that I‘Ab explained it there as meaning the [foot-stool of God, or] place of the feet; as for the عَرْش [of God], that cannot be measured. Or it means the sphere of the stars.

he is one of the people of science—هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الكُرْسِىِّ

الكَرَاسِىُّ is also used, with a word left out, to mean the learned men, according to Ktr.

Qur’ān 2:255 approximate — somewhere between 2:253 and 2:259 Lane cites “Kur ii. 256”

Qur’ān 2:255 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)
