Does Allah have a Shadow?

Assalamou 'Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh

Does Allah have a Shadow ? Is there any Salaf saying on this issue ?

I've read a Fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Baaz where he says Allah has a Shadow.

Here's the Fatwa:

Question: Regarding the narration of the seven in the shadow of Allah on the Day where there is no shadow save His Shadow, does this mean Allah Ta’ala has a shadow?”

ibn Baz answered, “Yes, as is reported in this narration and in some transmissions, ‘in the shadow of His Throne’. However, in the Swahihayn, it is, ‘in His shadow’ for He has a shadow that is befitting His Glory, and we do not know its form, just like the rest of His Attributes.”

Ref: Majmou Fatawa Vol 28 pg 402

Question: Is it true that Allah has a Shadow? Is there any Salaf saying on this issue?

Jazaak Allah Khayr!
