A Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad! Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, and the mountains on a Finger, and the trees on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He will say, 'I am the King.' " On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and then recited:-- 'No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to him....(39.67) ʿAbdullah added: Allah's Apostle smiled (at the Jew's statement) expressing his wonder and belief in what was said. (Using translation from Bukhārī 7414)
أَنْ يَهُودِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَوَاتِ عَلَى إِصْبُعٍ وَالْأَرَضِينَ عَلَى إِصْبُعٍ وَالْجِبَالَ وَالْخَلَائِقَ عَلَى إِصْبُعٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ وَقَالَ {وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ} [الأنعام 91] [240] قَالَ يَحْيَى وَزَادَ فِيهِ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَعَجُّبًا وَتَصْدِيقًا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ
