"Narrated from Ali, who said: The one who argued with Abraham about his Lord took two small vultures and raised them until they grew strong, thick and large. He tied the feet of each one to a chest with a peg, and starved them. He and another man sat in the chest, and he raised a stick over his head with meat on it, and they flew. He kept saying to his companion: 'Look, what do you see?' He said: 'I see such and such,' until he said: 'I see the world like a fly.' He said: 'Turn the stick.' He turned it, and they descended. He said: That is the saying of Allah: {And indeed their plot was such that the mountains would be moved by it}, and so it is in the reading of Ibn Mas'ud: {And indeed their plot was such that the mountains would be moved by it}."
