10. Ja`far ibn Muhammad ibn Masrur (RA) said: al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn `Amir said, on the authority of his paternal uncle `Abd Allah ibn `Amir, on the authority of Ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of Aban ibn `Uthman, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said
A man came to the Commander of the Faithful (AS) and asked: “Does Allah have the power to place the Earth in an egg, without making the Earth smaller or the egg any bigger?” Thus, he (AS) replied, “Woe unto you! Verily, Allah cannot be described by means of limits. Who has more power than H who diminishes the Earth and enlarges the egg?”

جاء رجل إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فقال: أيقدر أن يدخل الأرض في بيضة ولا يصغر الأرض ولا يكبر البيضة؟ فقال: ويلك، إن الله لا يوصف بالعجز ومن أقدر ممن يلطف الأرض ويعظم البيضة.
