أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَشْعَثُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ
نَزَلَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ نَمْلَةٌ فَأَمَرَ بِبَيْتِهِنَّ فَحُرِّقَ عَلَى مَا فِيهَا فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيْهِ فَهَلَّا نَمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً؟ [494] وَقَالَ أَشْعَثُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ «فَإِنَّهُنَّ يُسَبِّحْنَ» 4853 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ

✧ A prophet among the prophets stopped under a tree, and an ant stung him. He ordered their nest burned with all that was in it. Then Allah revealed to him: Why not just one ant? [494] Ash'ath said from Ibn Sirin from Abu Hurayrah from the Prophet ﷺ similarly, and he added: "For they glorify Allah." 4853 Ishaq b. Ibrahim informed us, saying: Mu'adh b. Hisham informed us, saying: My father narrated to me from Qatadah from al-Hasan from Abu Hurayrah similarly, but he did not attribute it to the Prophet.
