Musnad Abi Ya'la 5160 — A man from the People of the Book came
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْأَرَضِينَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْجِبَالَ وَالشَّجَرَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْمَاءَ وَالثَّرَى عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْخَلَائِقَ كُلَّهَا عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنَا الْمَلَكُ ، قَالَ: «فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ»: {وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ}، الْآيَةُ، فَقُلْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ: أَفِي الدُّنْيَا أَمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: فِي الدُّنْيَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "A man from the People of the Book came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Indeed Allah Almighty holds the heavens on one finger, the earths on one finger, the mountains and the trees on one finger, the water and the moist soil on one finger, and all of creation on one finger; then He will say: 'I am the King.' Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled so broadly that his (peace and blessings be upon him) molar teeth became visible. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this noble verse: 'And they did not esteem Allah with the esteem that is His due, while on the Day of Resurrection the whole earth will be within His grip, and the heavens will be folded in His Right Hand.' The narrator says: I asked Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): Did this incident take place in this world, or is it a mention of the Hereafter? He replied: It took place in this world."
