Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sadiq Naji that Hazrat Sulaiman bin Dawood (peace be upon him) went out with the people to pray to Allah Almighty for rain. On the way, he passed by an ant that was lying on its back with its legs raised towards the sky, saying: "O Allah! I am also (one of the lowliest) of Your creatures. I am not independent of Your sustenance. Either give me water to drink, or grant me death." Sulaiman (peace be upon him) immediately said to the people: "Return, for you have been given water by the prayer of someone else."
