11. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn `Abd Allah la-Barqi (RA) said: My father said, on the authority of his grandfather Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Nasr that
A man came to al-Rida (AS) and enquired: “Does Your Lord have the power to place the heavens and the Earth and whatever is between them inside an egg?” Hence, he (AS) replied, Of course he can! In fact, He has placed it in something even smaller than an egg. He has placed it all in your eye, while it is smaller than an egg. For when you open it, you see the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in between them. IF he has willed, He would have blinded you from it all.
11 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله البرقي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، قال
جاء رجل إلى الرضا عليه السلام فقال: هل يقدر ربك أن يجعل السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في بيضة؟ قال: نعم، وفي أصغر من البيضة، قد جعلها في عينك وهي أقل من البيضة، لأنك إذا فتحتها عاينت السماء والأرض وما بينهما، ولو شاء لأعماك عنها.
