مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4369

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood said: A rabbi came to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and said: O Muhammad or, O Messenger of Allah verily on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will carry the heavens on one finger, and the earths on one finger, and the mountains on one finger, and the trees on one finger, and water and soil on one finger, and all of creation on one finger; Me will shake them then lie will say; i am the Sovereign. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) smiled so broadly that His molars appeared, in approval of what the rabbi said, then he recited: "They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him!” fa z-Zumar 39:67].
