حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَبَلَغَكَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَحْمِلُ الْخَلَائِقَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْأَرَضِينَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالشَّجَرَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالثَّرَى عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ ؟ قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ، وَقَرَأَ وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ

✧ A man from the People of the Book came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said, "O Abu al-Qasim, has it reached you that God, Blessed and Exalted, will carry the creation on a finger, the heavens on a finger, the earths on a finger, the trees on a finger, and the soil on a finger?" He said, "The Messenger of God ﷺ laughed until his molars showed, and he recited, 'They have not appraised God with true appraisal.'"

  • Qurṭubī

    هذه الرواية هي الرواية الصحيحة المحققة فأما رواية من زاد في هذا اللفظ تصديقا له فليست بشيء لأنها من قول الراوي وهي باطلة

    machine translationThis narration is the sound, verified one (al-riwāyah al-ṣaḥīḥah al-muḥaqqaqah). As for the narration of the one who added to this wording "as a confirmation of it," it is worthless, because it is from the words of the narrator, and it is false (bāṭilah).
