Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People will continue to ask questions upon questions, until it will even be asked: (It is true that) Allah Almighty created us, but who created Allah Almighty?" Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! One day I was sitting when an Iraqi man asked this very question and said: "This Allah Almighty, He created us, but who created Allah Almighty?" I put my two fingers into my ears and cried out: "Allah Almighty and His Messenger have spoken the truth, Allah Almighty is One, Self-Sufficient, He neither begets nor is begotten, and there is none comparable to Him."
