Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذَهَبَ بِخلق كخلقي فلْيخلقوا ذَرَّةً أَوْ لِيَخْلُقُوا حَبَّةً أَوْ شَعِيرَةً "

It is related from Abu Hurayrah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) say, “Allah, Exalted is He, said: Who is more unjust than one who sets out to create something like My creation? Let them create an atom, or let them create a grain of wheat or barley.”
