Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Al-Hadid, Ayah 4
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍۢ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلِجُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا ۖ وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌۭ
It is He who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He knows what penetrates into the earth and what emerges from it and what descends from the heaven and what ascends therein; and He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.

It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days of the days of this world the first of which being Sunday and the last of which Friday then presided upon the Throne ‘arsh denotes the kursī a presiding that was befitting of Him. He knows what enters the earth of rain and dead creatures and what issues from it of vegetation and minerals and what comes down from the heaven in the way of mercy and chastisement and what ascends in it of righteous deeds and evil ones. And He is with you by virtue of His knowledge wherever you may be; and God is Seer of what you do.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days) of the days of the beginning of the life of the world whereby one day is 1,000 years of the days we know, the first day being Sunday and the last Friday; (then He mounted the Throne) He established Himself on the Throne and it is said He filled it. Before He created the heavens and the earth, Allah was established on the Throne without any modality (bila-kayf). (He knoweth all that entereth the earth) of rain, treasures and dead created beings, (and all that emergeth therefrom) from the earth of dead created beings, vegetation, water and treasures (and all that cometh down from the sky) of provision, rain, angels and misfortunes (and all that ascendeth therein) of angels, the angels who record people's actions and works; (and He is with you) and He is Aware of you (wheresoever ye may be) on land or at sea. (And Allah is Seer of what ye do) of good or evil.
