Is there likening (tashbih) in the phrase "the whole world is like a bullet in His hand"?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: "The whole world, its heavens and its earth, from the Throne to the Footstool, is between His hands, like a bullet in one of our hands." Is there likening in this phrase? The whole world, its heavens and its earth, from the Throne to the Footstool, is between His hands, like a bullet.

Answer:
Between what? From the Throne to the Footstool, between His hands. My hand or your hand? Between His hands. Always, (Glorified and Exalted is He). The way is to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes, all created things are insignificant compared to Allah, like a mustard seed in one of your hands, as in the hadith: ... with power, yes.
