Abdullah reported: We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he went out to relieve himself. We saw a red sparrow that had two chicks with her and we took her chicks, so the sparrow started to flap her wings. The Prophet came to us and he said, “Who has upset her by taking her children? Give her children back to her.” The Prophet also saw an ant colony which we had burned and he said, “Who burned this?” We said that we did it. The Prophet said, “No one should punish with fire except the Lord of the fire.”
