Arabic text

5 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار رحمه الله، قال: حدثني سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن إبليس قال: لعيسى بن مريم عليه السلام: أيقدر ربك على أن يدخل الأرض بيضة لا يصغر الأرض ولا يكبر البيضة؟ فقال عيسى عليه السلام ويلك على أن الله لا يوصف بعجز، ومن أقدر ممن يلطف الأرض ويعظم البيضة.

Translation

5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-`Attar (RA) said: Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah related to me, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abu `Abd Allah, on the authority of Ya`qub ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abu `Umayr, on the authority of one he mentioned, that Abu `Abd Allah (AS) said: Iblis said to `Isa the son of Maryam (AS): “Does Your Lord have the omnipotence to place Earth inside an egg, without making the Earth smaller or the egg any bigger?” Thus, `Isa (AS) replied, “Woe unto you! Verily, Allah cannot be described with limits. Who has more power than He who diminishes the Earth, and enlarges the egg?”
