Hadith #187
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ
عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِجَهَازِهِ فَأُخْرِجَ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُحْرِقَتْ بِالنَّارِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ فَهَلَّا نَمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً

English Translation
Yazid narrated to us, he said: Muhammad informed us, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A prophet among the Prophet ﷺs sat under a tree, and an ant stung him. He ordered his belongings to be removed from beneath it, then ordered it to be burned with fire. Allah (عز وجل) revealed to him: 'Why not just one ant?'"
