Allah has made hierarchy of power

129. And by this chain: He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said: ‘Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic did not Create a creature except that He عز وجل Commanded another one to overcome it, and that Allah عز وجل Blessed and High, when He عز وجل Created the deeper ocean, it prided itself and moved its waves and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the earth, so it (ocean) surfaced upon its back, and so it became submissive. Then he عليه الصلاة والسلام said; ‘The earth prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the mountains and Established them as pegs upon its back, so stop it from swaying due to what is upon her. So the earth became submissive and stabilised. Then the mountain prided itself over the earth, so it became bigger and taller, and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the iron which cut it, and so the mountain calmed down and became submissive. Then the iron prided itself over the mountain and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the Fire which melted it, and so the iron became submissive. Then the fire exhaled and gasped (blazed), and prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the water which extinguished it, and so it became submissive. Then the water prided itself and overflowed and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the wind which moved its waves and raised what was in its bottom, and restrained it from its direction, and so the water became submissive. Then the wind prided itself, raged and loosened its tails and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He عز وجل Created the human being who built shelters and tricked the wind by veiling himself from it and other, so the wind became humble. Then the human being rebelled and said, ‘Who is stronger than me?’ So He عز وجل Created the death for him, which defeated him, and so he became submissive. Then the death prided itself so Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic Said: “Do not be proud, for I عز وجل will Slaughter you in between the two sects – the people of the Paradise and the people of the Fire, then I عز وجل will not Revive you ever, whether you return (repent) or you fear”. And he عليه الصلاة والسلام also said: ‘And the forbearance overcomes the anger, and the mercy overcomes the harshness, and the charity overcomes the sins’. Then Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘There is more like this where one thing overcomes the other’.
