Iblis said to `Isa the son of Maryam (AS): “Does Your Lord have the omnipotence to place Earth inside an egg, without making the Earth smaller or the egg any bigger?” Thus, `Isa (AS) replied, “Woe unto you! Verily, Allah cannot be described with limits. Who has more power than He who diminishes the Earth, and enlarges the egg?”

إن إبليس قال: لعيسى بن مريم عليه السلام: أيقدر ربك على أن يدخل الأرض بيضة لا يصغر الأرض ولا يكبر البيضة؟ فقال عيسى عليه السلام ويلك على أن الله لا يوصف بعجز، ومن أقدر ممن يلطف الأرض ويعظم البيضة.
