A person from the People of the Book came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said: Abu al-Qasim, verily, Allah holds the Heavens upon one finger and the earths upon one finger and the trees and moist earth upon one finger and in fact the whole of the creation upon one finger and then say: I am the King. I am the King. And he (the narrator) further said: I saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) smiling until his front teeth became visible and then he recited the verse: And they measure not the power of Allah with His true measure (39:67).
