Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he passed by an ant colony that had been burned, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not fitting for any human being to punish with the punishment of Allah Almighty.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
