حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى،‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق الشَّيْبَانِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ سَعْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أبو داود:‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ الْحَسَنُ بن سعد،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَانْطَلَقَ لِحَاجَتِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَرَأَيْنَا حُمَّرَةً مَعَهَا فَرْخَانِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذْنَا فَرْخَيْهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَتِ الْحُمَرَةُ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَعَلَتْ تُفَرِّشُ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ فَجَعَ هَذِهِ بِوَلَدِهَا ؟ رُدُّوا وَلَدَهَا إِلَيْهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَرَأَى قَرْيَةَ نَمْلٍ قَدْ حَرَّقْنَاهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ حَرَّقَ هَذِهِ ؟،‏‏‏‏ قُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ نَحْنُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِالنَّارِ إِلَّا رَبُّ النَّارِ .

When we were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and he had gone to releive himself, we saw a Hummarah with two young ones. We took the young ones. The Hummarah came and began to spread out its wings. Then the prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم came and said: who has pained this young by the loss of her young? Give her young ones back to her. We also saw an ant-hill which we had burned. He asked? Who has burned this? We replied: we have. He said: it is not fitting that anyone but the lord of the fire should punish with fire.
