Prophet Jesus (AS) was once asked, ‘Can your Lord fit the world into an egg? to which he replied, ‘Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, cannot be attributed with incapacity, but that which you are asking cannot ever be.
المَسيحُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لمّا قيل لَهُ: هل يقدرُ ربُّك على أن يدخل الدنيا في بيضةٍ ـ: إنَّ اللّهَ تَبارَكَ وتَعالى لا يُنسَبُ إلَى العَجزِ ، والّذي سَألتَني لا يَكونُ.
