Sahih al-Bukhari 7559 (Book 97, Hadith 184) #7261
The Challenge of Creation

SUMMARY: Allah challenges people to create something as small as an ant, wheat grain or barley grain, which is impossible for them to do.

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah said, 'Who are most unjust than those who try to create something like My creation? I challenge them to create even a smallest ant, a wheat grain or a barley grain'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذَهَبَ يَخْلُقُ كَخَلْقِي، فَلْيَخْلُقُوا ذَرَّةً، أَوْ لِيَخْلُقُوا حَبَّةً أَوْ شَعِيرَةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect God's creations
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of Allah and His ability to create anything. It is narrated by Abu Huraira that he heard the Prophet saying that Allah said, “Who are more unjust than those who try to create something like My creation?” Here, Allah is challenging people to try and create even a smallest ant, a wheat grain or a barley grain. This shows how powerful and great Allah is in comparison with humans who cannot even come close to creating something like this. It also teaches us that we should not be arrogant and think too highly of ourselves because we are nothing compared with the greatness of God's creations.
