وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " خَرَجَ نَبِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ بِالنَّاسِ يَسْتَسْقِي فَإِذا هُوَ بنملة رَافِعَة بعض قوائهما إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ: ارْجِعُوا فَقَدِ اسْتُجِيبَ لَكُمْ من أجل هَذِه النملة ". رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيّ
