81 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; he said: Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn narrated to me; he said: Saʿīd ibn Sulaymān narrated to me; he said: ʿAbbād ibn al-ʿAwwām narrated to us, from Yūnus, from Ḥumayd ibn Hilāl, who said: “When people sinned in the time of Noah, all creatures became angry with the children of Adam—even the tiniest creature said, ‘My Lord, give me power over them.’ He said, ‘What would you do to them?’ It said, ‘I would slip into their ears.’”
