Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: A prophet (either Uzair or Musa, peace be upon them) was bitten by an ant, so he ordered that the entire colony of ants be burned. Upon this, Allah the Exalted sent revelation to him: "Because one ant bit you, you have destroyed a whole community that glorified Allah."
