Mercy of Solomon to the Ants

Young Prophet Solomon marched with his mighty army—humans, jinn, and birds moving

in perfect order across the valley. As they approached, a tiny ant hurried back to its colony.

Seeing the massive army, it shouted to the others: “Enter your homes!

Or they will crush us without knowing!” No ordinary human could hear this voice,

but Solomon, blessed by God’s wisdom, heard the trembling cry clearly.

He smiled gently. Even a tiny creature’s fear was not overlooked. Raising his voice, he prayed:

“My Lord, grant me gratitude for Your blessings and make me among the righteous.”

Then he instructed his army to change their path, sparing the ants entirely.
