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)

Arabic text

4359 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا النَّضْرُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَشْعَثُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، «نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ، فَأَمَرَ بِبَيْتِهِنَّ، فَحُرِّقَ عَلَى مَا فِيهَا، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَهَلَّا نَمْلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ» وقَالَ الْأَشْعَثُ: عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ، وَزَادَ فَإِنَّهُنَّ: «يُسَبِّحْنَ»
