Musnad Abi Ya'la 5851 — the Prophet ﷺ said: An ant bit one
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ سُرَيْجٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : قَرَصَتْ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ نَمْلَةٌ ، فَأَمَرَ بِقَرْيَةِ النَّمْلِ فَأُحْرِقَتْ ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ : أَفِي أَنْ قَرَصَتْكَ نَمْلَةٌ أَحْرَقْتَ أُمَّةً مِنَ الْأُمَمِ تُسَبِّحُ اللهَ ؟ ! .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An ant bit one of the earlier prophets, so he ordered that the colony of the ants be burned, and it was burned. At that, Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'Merely because a single ant bit you, did you burn an entire nation among the nations (of creatures) that used to glorify Allah?'"
