The two sheikhs mentioned that Abu Hurayra had said: "Prophet Muhammad said: An
ant pinched one of the prophets (Moses, as said by at-Tarmithi) 1.
He ordered to burn the village of ants and it was burned. Allah revealed to him: "Why did you burn one of the nations that praised Allah, because an ant had pinched you?" 2
Abu Hurayra was fond of the prophets. He wandered about every odd disaster, which
sored the eyes and blocked the ears. The prophets had longer patience, greater hearts, and
higher statuses than what this dotard told about.
The Prophet Muhammad's guardian, Imam Ali bin Abu Talib (s) said in one of his
infallibility of the prophets against what the ignorant ascribed to them. Allah did never
choose, for His missions, anyone, who would not be far away from those accusations.
Glory be to Allah and exalted was He above what the idiots say!
I don't know, by Allah, what the defenders of this tradition would say about this prophet,
who tortured the ants with fire, in spite of the prophet Muhammad's saying: "No one is to
torture with fire but Allah." 3
They agreed unanimously that burning with fire was forbidden for all the animate beings, except that when a man made another man die by burning him with fire, then the dead man's guardian had the right to burn the doer with fire.
Abu Dawood mentioned a true tradition that Ibn Abbas said that the Prophet (s) had forbidden killing the ant, the bee, the hoopoe, and the shrike.

The Prophet Muhammad's guardian, Imam Ali bin Abu Talib (s) said in one of his
speeches: "I swear by Allah, if I had been given the seven states with all what was there under their skies to disobey Allah by snatching a crust of a barely seed from an ant, I would never do. This worldly life, for me, is cheaper than a leaf in the mouth of a locust crunching it. What had Ali to do with a passing ease and a transient pleasure?"
Although Imam Ali was not a prophet, but a veracious guardian, his case represented theinfallibility of the prophets against what the ignorant ascribed to them. Allah did never
choose, for His missions, anyone, who would not be far away from those accusations.
