"لا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ يَتَسَاءَلَونَ حَتَّى يُقَال: هَذَا خَلقَ اللهُ الْخَلقَ، فَمَنْ خَلَقَ اللهَ؟ فَمَنْ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيئا فَليَقُلْ: آمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَرُسُلِهِ".

Men will continue to question one another till this is propounded: Allah created all things but who created Allah? He who found himself confronted with such a situation should say: I affirm my faith in Allah.

مسلم:١٣٤a – حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ وَاللَّفْظُ لِهَارُونَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
