18
حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى وَادِي النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, "O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not."
Tafsir
{Until, when they came upon the Valley of the Ants}, which is in Taif or in the Levant, ants, young or old. {An ant said}, the queen of the ants, when she saw Solomon’s soldiers, {O ants, enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his soldiers crush you while they perceive not.} The ants were treated as rational beings in the address given to them.
