Mohammad ibn Abi Ameer narrated that Jesus, the son of Mary (a.s) was told
“O' Spirit of God! Can your Lord place the universe inside an egg without shrinking the world or expanding the egg?” He replied: “There is nothing God is incapable of doing, but what you want is impossible.”
عن محمد بن أبي عمير يرفعه قال
قيل لعيسى بن مريم: يا روح الله، هل يقدر ربك على أن يدخل الدنيا في بيضة من غير أن يصغر الدنيا ويكبر البيضة؟ فقال: إن الله عز وجل لا ينسب إلى عجز، والذي سألتم عنه لا يكون.
