Hadith.1490 - Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "One day, Prophet Solomon (Sulaiman) (as) went out with his companions to pray for rain (Istisqa). He saw an ant raising one of its legs towards the sky, saying
'O’ Allah (swt), we are a creation among Your creations. We are not in need of anything except Your provision, so do not destroy us due to the sins of the children of Adam.' Solomon (as) then said to his companions, 'Return, for you have been granted rain due to someone other than yourselves.'".
1490 - وَ رَوَى حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ لِيَسْتَسْقِيَ فَوَجَدَ نَمْلَةً قَدْ رَفَعَتْ قَائِمَةً مِنْ قَوَائِمِهَا إِلَى اَلسَّمَاءِ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا خَلْقٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ لاَ غِنَى بِنَا عَنْ رِزْقِكَ فَلاَ تُهْلِكْنَا بِذُنُوبِ بَنِي آدَمَ فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ اِرْجِعُوا فَقَدْ سُقِيتُمْ بِغَيْرِكُمْ.
