Sahih Muslim 135d (Book 1, Hadith 257) #7522
Unanswerable Questions About Allah

SUMMARY: People will ask questions about Allah and His creation, but it is not possible to answer the question of who created Allah.

Yazid b. al-Asamm said: I heard Abu Huraira saying that the Messenger of Allah observed: people will certainly ask you about everything till they will propound: Allah created every thing, but who created Allah?
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الأَصَمِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لَيَسْأَلَنَّكُمُ النَّاسُ عَنْ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا اللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَمَنْ خَلَقَهُ

We should instead focus on what we can understand and learn from this world around us.

This hadith teaches us to have faith in God's power and wisdom even if we don't fully understand it all.
