Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and we passed by an ant colony that had been burned. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not fitting for any human being to punish with the punishment of Allah (that is, fire)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sufyan except Abd al-Razzaq."
