It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "I will surely come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right and from their left" [Surah al-A'raf: 17], that he said: "Satan could not bring himself to say: '(I will come to them) from above them,' because he knew that Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is above them all (exalted and supreme)."
Ishaq bin Rahwayh recorded this report in his Musnad (hadith: 3011); its chain contains the narrator Ibrahim bin al-Hakam bin Aban, who is da'if (weak).
