(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَرَرْنَا بِقَرْيَةِ نَمْلٍ فَأُحْرِقَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
(Second chain) They say: We were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we passed by ant hills and saw that they had been burned. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not befitting for any human to punish anyone with a punishment like that of Allah the Exalted.
