Musnad Ahmad 1302 (Book 5, Hadith 705) #34931
The Power of Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was able to lift 'Ali up so he could reach and destroy the idols on top of the Ka'bah.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: There were idols on top of the Ka'bah, and I wanted to lift up the Prophet so he could reach them, but I could not do it. So he lifted me up, and I started smashing them, and if I had wanted to, I could have touched the sky.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ عَلَى الْكَعْبَةِ أَصْنَامٌ فَذَهَبْتُ لِأَحْمِلَ النَّبِيَّ إِلَيْهَا فَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ فَحَمَلَنِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَقْطَعُهَا وَلَوْ شِئْتُ لَنِلْتُ السَّمَاءَ‏.‏
