As Prophet Sulayman(pbuh) was walking through the
valley of the ants, the chief of the ants warned his fellow ants of the coming
of the army advising them to go into their homes to avoid being crushed.
When Prophet Sulayman(pbuh) heard the warning of the chief
of the ants, he smiled and walked up to him gently lifting him on the palm of
his hand.
Don’t you know that I am the Prophet of Allah and that
I would not harm any of Allah’s creatures?” Sulyman asked the chief ant.
“Of course I do!” said the chief
“But, I feared that if my fellow ants would see the
grandeur of your army, they would underestimate the grace of Allah which they
receive and may become ungrateful.”
The chief ant then asked Prophet Sulayman (pbuh) “May
I ask you a question?”
“Yes!” Said Prophet Sulayman (pbuh)
“Who is better at this moment of time?”asked the chief
ant
The chief ant replied:
“at this moment in time, I am better than you for I am
standing on the palm of a Prophet of Allah, whilst you O Prophet! Are standing
on the ground!”
