English Translation
the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A Prophet from among the Prophet ﷺs sat beneath a tree and an ant stung him. He ordered his belongings to be moved out from beneath it and ordered the ant colony to be burned. Allah revealed to him: Was it not just one ant that stung you? Why did you burn an entire nation that glorifies Allah?'
