أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم :
" نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ ، فَأَمَرَ بِجَهَازِهِ ، فَأُخْرِجَ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُحْرِقَتْ بِالنَّارِ ، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ : فَهَلَّا نَمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A prophet camped under a tree. A certain ant bit him, so he ordered his belongings to be moved from there and set fire to the entire ant colony. Allah sent revelation to him: Why did you not punish only the one ant? (Only one ant had bitten, not all of them.)
