ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT THE EARTH WILL BE HANDFUL

Muhammad b. Muhammad b. `Isam al-Kulayni - Allah be pleased with him - narrated to us, he said: Muhammd b. Yaqoub al-Kulayni narrated to us, he said: `Ali b. Muhammad, well-known as al-Kulayni, narrated to us, he said: Muhammad b. `Isa b. Ubayd narrated to us, he said:
I asked Abul Hasan Ali b. Muhammad al-`Askaru [a] about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Exalted, "On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand" [39:67]
He [a] said: This is Allah, Blessed and High, taunting those who liken Him to His creation. Do you not see that He has said: "And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed" [39:67] when He said that indeed "On the Day of Judgment the whole of the earth will be but His handful, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand", just as the Mighty and Exalted has said: "And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a man." [6:91] And then immediately the Mighty and Exalted declared Himself free from (having) a handful and a right hand as he said: 
"Glorified is He and far Exalted from all that they ascribe as partners (unto Him)." [39:67]
