Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah related to me, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of one he mentioned, that Abu `Abd Allah (AS) said: Iblis said to `Isa the son of Maryam (AS): âDoes Your Lord have the omnipotence to place Earth inside an egg, without making the Earth smaller or the egg any bigger?â Thus, `Isa (AS) replied, âWoe unto you!
Verily, Allah cannot be described with limits. Who has more power than He who diminishes the Earth, and enlarges the egg?â
