English translation
4364. It was narrated from Al-Hasan: "One of the prophets stopped beneath a tree and an ant bit him, so he gave instructions that their nest be burned with all the ants inside it. Then Allâh revealed to him: 'Why did you not punish just one ant?'" Al-Ash'ath said: "A similar report was narrated from Ibn Sîrîn, from Abû Hurairah, from the Prophet, in which were added the words: 'For they glorify Allâh.'" (Sahih)
