(3). 3238. 'Abdullāh said: "A Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Muḥammad! Allāh will seize the heavens upon a finger, the mountains upon a finger, the earths upon a finger, and the rest of creation upon a finger. Then He says: 'I am the King.'" He said: 'So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ laughed until his molars were visible. He said: "They made not a just estimate of Allāh such as is due to Him."[1] (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣahīh.

٣٢٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌مَنْصُورٌ ، ‌وَسُلَيْمَانُ ، عَنْ ‌إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ ‌عَبِيدَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: «جَاءَ يَهُودِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ،» إِنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْأَرَضِينَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْجِبَالَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، وَالْخَلَائِقَ عَلَى إِصْبَعٍ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَنَا الْمَلِكُ، قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ قَالَ: {وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ} هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The entire earth, all the heavens and all the creatures will be on the Fingers of Allāh, His Fingers are as They suit to the Self of the Almighty. As it is impossible to know the reality and the condition of Allāh's Self, similarly, the reality and the condition of His Fingers is beyond our knowledge and comprehension.
