11. [11/347] al-Tawhid: Ibn Masrur from Ibn A’mir from his uncle from Ibn Abi Umayr from Aban b. Uthman from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said
A man came to the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام and said: Is Allah capable of inserting the Earth into an egg without the Earth becoming smaller or the egg becoming larger? He said: Woe upon you - Incapacity cannot be attributed to Allah. Who is more capable (of doing that) than the One who diminishes the Earth and enlarges the egg?!
[347/11] التوحيد: ابن مسرور، عن ابن عامر، عن عمه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
جاء رجل إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فقال: أيقدر الله أن يدخل الارض في بيضة ولا تصغر الارض ولا تكبر البيضة؟ فقال له: ويلك إن الله لا يوصف بالعجز ومن أقدر ممن يلطف الارض ويعظم البيضة؟
